This might help: https://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2021/Dec/Furtwangler-Warner-9029523240.htm Seems there are many DG recordings (particularly live performances) from a prior box that are not in this set.

JSngry Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 The Amazon blurb suggested the presence of uncommon live material. Not sure what that means, and want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that means, and want to. I only skimmed through the Musicweb review at warp speed, but got the impression that the sole obvious candidate for said material is disc 54 (scroll way down. quoted below). But there is also material that has only been released in Japan or on obscure releases. The final disc in the box, CD54, is of previously unreleased recordings. The Schubert “Unfinished” from Danish Radio – recorded on 1st October 1950 during the WPO’s European tour – has been known about for many years. Furtwängler is also known to have performed this symphony on the same date in 1949 when the orchestra visited the United Kingdom – and comes from a BBC studio recording. It may be nice to know if this also exists, not least because Furtwängler had a very special way with this Schubert symphony. Although his tempi were not especially slow, the weight and nobility he brought to the “Unfinished” were of unusual power. And it is simply profound and overwhelming in this performance because the sound is so spectacular. The sheer weight given to the strings, the resonance, and the very natural surround sound makes this an epic “Unfinished”. It comes close to being the finest thing in this box, certainly sound wise. The play-through of the Götterdämmerung Siegfried Funeral March from January 1950 – already published on Testament – offers nothing remarkably new, although the sound is impressively wide-ranging. The Vienna/EMI takes from February 1949 would have been a more enticing prospect. The Elegia from Tchaikovsky’s Serenade in C major is beautifully done, and interesting given that this is one of the very few Tchaikovsky pieces that Furtwängler played beside the last three symphonies. The WPO’s playing is remarkably beautifully and the sound is exquisite. It is not listed as stereo but it has almost all the attributes of an early stereo recording. Edited October 9, 2023 by T.D.

JSngry Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 So they are including Testament releases then? What about the wartime broadcasts? Probably not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
