Description:

Performed two months before "Eroica in Urania." The original pitch of this performance is also high and many recordings have been left untouched, but we have corrected this problem this time. For some reason, there have been few commercialized versions of this performance from official sources provided by broadcasters, and many of them had problems with the way the tapes were connected in the third movement, which made Furtwängler's peculiar Pausé unnatural. This disc is of course an improvement. The sound is very clear for the time. When portamento is sometimes applied, I was filled with a strange feeling of "Ah, the Vienna Philharmonic". The performance was not only dramatic but also graceful. No reverberation was added, no tape hiss was left behind, and no noise reduction was done by filtering. The fact that it is on UHQCD, Japan's world-class format, also makes it a remarkable performance. Muse Trading Co.
