Many people know what is exactly happening here. Others aren't aware of it. Doensn't matter ... here are seconds of pure destiny. And a very last fight.
The decor, too, is "once in a lifetime". As for the performance, Toscanini's observant, exciting performance at pretty much ONE tempo strikes me as more consistent with the work's overall character than the various little hysterias presented here. WF's performances AFTER the war were much better than those he gave during the war.
I think it might make sense to say that Wagner's works are so enduring precisely because you can have such diverse interpretations by truly great conductors. That being said, I agree that this performance is a bit frantic.
La calidad del sonido no es muy buena, parece constreñido, por eso no se aprecia la grandeza de esta obra y no creo que sea por culpa de Furtwängler...que opinan Vds...? Saludos desde España...
The eyes of audiences were very impressive. Some of them might think this concert is the last experienc of their life.
Very special and once in a lifetime footage! Furtwängler and the BPO were great !
What a historical recording - it almost feels unreal. Thank you so much for this!!!
Amazing.
Thank you so much!
I want to give more thumb ups !

1942? Who'd have thought a war was raging.
And yet the gas ovens remained lit. German inventiveness knew no bounds.
Histórico documento.

A minority view, that!!!!
Furtwängler tempo changes are more consistent with the german musical romantic tradition. Toscanini did it wrong
Porque era antinazi!!!
