Description:

[Furtwängler's superb live performance III] Re-issued on CD for the first time in 20-30 years from analog master tapes! Furtwängler's treasured recordings on the Seven Seas (former Cetra label) have been reissued with the latest digital remastering and UHQCD specification! First CD release from the old Cetra (DISCOS production) master tapes! Live subscription concert with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in April 1953. The tempo of the "Seventh" is set calmly in the style of his later years, but explodes at the climax of the coda. The "Eighth" is consistent with its thick and full sound. The functional beauty of the Berlin Philharmonic is unparalleled. The recording is excellent, and the charm of the last years of the WF=BPO is packed in this disc.
