This is just wonderful. I do not like all these endless comparisons, but I just listened to Haitink's rendition of this symphony. I like Furtwangler's interpretation so much more!

[@sdeveau7970]

Greatest conductor that ever lived. Monumental. Thickness of the strings. The tempo control. Dynamics. The biggest problem is that we don't have enough of his performances recorded.

[@vittoriostoraro]

FAR FAR from the greatest. This idiotic worship needs to stop. Sloppy uninspired.

[@perspellman]

I really haven't heard this great symphony before now. Fürtwangler truly was a formidable master of knowing how to play the orchestra. Beethoven would have been excited.

[@vittoriostoraro]

Perhaps after he went deaf and didn't have to suffer through listening to it.

Perfectly interpretation, no one will be outstanding than the master, Furtwangler. Thanks

[@ASclassical]

True, it is an extraordinary recording of this superb symphony. But if you let me, I think there is only one conductor that may beat Maestro Furtwangler, that is Herbert Von Karajan. Thanks!

[@vittoriostoraro]

Please, you Fartwangler cultists are laughable.

A typically excellent Furtwängler post war performance.

巨匠全五種類の第7中、三番目の第7であり大戦中の演奏に次ぐベルリン･フィルとのLIVEです。演奏は大戦中のベルリン盤よりかなり大人しくなっているも、やはりフルトヴェングラーで実況録音と言う事で尚更素晴らしい第7です。戦後の晩年の演奏だけにLIVEと言ってもきちっとした造形美を持った演奏で、個人的には大戦中の演奏に次いで好きな演奏です。第2楽章の深々としたアレグレットは何時聴いても感動的です。音質の良さも特筆ものですね。

Wow!! The contrasts, so important in Beethoven, are clearly audible. Ausgezeichtet Maestro, wie ueblich!

[@argeliamelet2927]

incomparable Furtwangler! Su pasión en la dirección es lo que seguramente hubiese querido el gran mestro

[@dongliniu4801]

Great pieces!! Though it sounds a little like VPO..

♥️🙏🌹

[@user-hm4tf6xv5j]

確か1949か、1950年ウィンフィルとのスタジオ録音だと思う1942年ベルリンフィルとの壮絶ライブと比べてとても同じ指揮者とは思えないテンポだね😃昔、レコードを持ってたんだが、今のスマホは音がキレイで、もちろん、フルヴェンは素晴らしい❗

Surely you should call the site "Best Interpreters"? Best Interprets doesn't make sense in English.

富特文格勒指挥的贝多芬交响乐都比卡拉扬速度慢，更好。

[@alainsaci1008]

Ce n'est pas étonnant. Karajan était un très mauvais chef.

[@mark-shane]

not BPO sound

[@farmertice7064]

It drags & sounds cumbersome. I prefer Carlos Kleiber.

[@robertmanno5749]

Kleiber came from the Karajan i.e. Apollonian school. Bernstein and Tennstedt came from the Furtwangler i.e. Dionysian school. They're all incredibly great. Both Kleiber and Furtwangler stand alone.
