And the great thing is, as of 30 July 2021, this recording is completely in public domain

grazie di nuovo

Best of the best!!!

Bin absolut fasziniert👍👍

Best in the best

Thank you so much for the post.

Meravigliosa!!! Un vero ed autorevolissimo riferimento nell'interpretazione della musica beethoveniana

This mudic is condoctor frutwänger real beethovan no.9 music thank you.

The precision of the dynamics, delicacy of phrasing and beauty of the portimenti are breathtaking.

타의 추종을 불허하는 명실공히 최고의 연주다. 명불허전이다.

Auch hier hat Furtwängler wieder genial dirigiert! Normaler Weise höre ich mir die 9. Nicht mehr an, da 1000x gehört! Aber dieses Dirigat und die Stimmen sind ein Hochgenuss!

ES COMO SI LA ESTUVIESE DIRIGIENDO EL MISMISIMO BEETHOVEN.
GLORIOSO FURTWANGLER

LA MEJOR VERSION, NO TE LA PIERDAS.

Look at the picture: I think that is 1954 cast: Ludwig Weber, Wolfgang Windgassen, Georgine von Milinkovic and Gre Brouwenstijn.

There a no words to describe listening to this masterpiece. What I can say: the entire symphony from start to finish is perfect. The orchestra plays at their best; Furtwangler is able to draw out sounds that are very rarely heard. (ie, hearing the basses playing in the final presto). Everything leads to the energetic conclusion and final note. Bravo!

is the berlin phihamonic orchastra

i really would love to see how people from 300 yeas and 100 years ago struggle with their fortune the same as people today and forever, evacuate the anger and sorrow and whatever emotions through music, and let violins yell and cry.

How did he get the orchestra to DO this ?!!!!

l now understand why my wonderful teacher, Alexander Ringer, spoke about Furtwängler as he did ..

신이시여. 이런 연주를 내려주시어 감사하나이다. 아멘.

Es una joya, la mejor versión de la novena, ese ritmo lento del primer movimiento le da algo especial, ya no puedo escucharla en ritmo normal

grazie

This is one reason to live

wonderful🎉🎉🎉

Facebook muted a recording of my own choir performing the Ode to Joy last year because it thought it was this (and therefore subject to relevant copyright law) 🤯 — I am both annoyed and extremely flattered?

Tellement de versions de tous chefs confondus, celle ci on peut dire que c'est la base et certainement LA MEILLEURE !!!!!

This is so great I can’t believe it.

absolutely, the greatest performance of Beethoven sym 9 ever!

A truly great conductor a real pleasure to hear my favorite symphony played so well.

After ww2 amazing the game has changed for Germany during the Berlin redesign during Hitlers reign and ultimate failure you can see the sound during the Berlin concert was extra fluff and pro state power and edgy sound added but this is smooth humble and survivable aspect and project a new Phoenix that would become Berlin after its fall truly incredible performance 🎭

❤

Thanks for sharing this amazing performance

Escuchando la novena todavia creo q el ser humano puede hacer cosas maravillosas. La vida real demuestra q no, todo es egoismo, odio, poder. La felicidad esta mas alla de las estrellas como dijo Miguel Rios en la adaptacion al rock de la oda a la alegria

Today, May 7th 2024, it is the 200th year anniversary of the debut performance of this work.
One of the greatest piece of music in the hands of one of the greatest, if not the greatest conductor of all times.

May it be explosion of all historic
instruments ever, namely over
this masterpiece. 🎉

私は今日この演奏を知って幸せいっぱいです❤
これから先何回も聴くことになるでしょう！

I would like to direct those who like this Furtwangler's Bayreuth performance to the same conductor's wartime Berlin 1942 performance, to its raw intensity, to the anger, frustration and bewilderment communicated (at least that's how I hear it)

谢谢大師!

Love Beethoven’s music !! ❤
