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 Chetola label) have been reissued on UHQCD with the latest digital re-mastering! First CD release from this master! Furtwängler and F. Dieskau were brought together in the monumental Salzburg performance of "Songs of a Wandering Young Man". Beautiful sound of the Vienna Philharmonic! The world premiere of "The Four Last Songs" is a historical performance. No other performance so dramatically depicts the pasetic sentiments of death and life." (Shigeo Nishino, from the liner notes). The margins include "Songs of a Wandering Young Man" with Alfredo Pell as soloist.
