Wilhelm FurtwanglerAbout
In the Hungarian Dances, Furtwängler’s innate understanding of their idiom brings a variety of subtleties and inflexions that make this recording particularly memorable.
In Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture his structural strength of line, together with a natural fluidity of tempo underpinning the thematic imagery, strikes a perfect balance.
Last but not least, the heart-warming performance of Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll demonstrates once again that even when Furtwängler conducted the lighter works of those composers whose output could be considered predominantly serious, he always brought the same questing spirit to search out the soul of the music.
