Deutsche Grammophon Wilhelm Furtwängler 1942-1944

Ten CD issues from Deutsche Grammophon also in the Dokumente series - consecutive issues from 427 774-2 to 427 783-2 - originally issued in 1989. From the booklet texts: "Ten compact discs of recordings by Wilhelm Furtwängler and the Berlin Philharmonic from the years 1942 to 1944, not an edition but a collection - intended for the collector - and occasion enough to survey once again in literary form the personality of a conductor who, now many years after his death, continues to exert his spell. In these ten essays - largely without specific reference to the compositions in the recordings themselves - "Reminscences and Observations" have been compiled, thoughts on the unique artistic phenomenon of Wilhelm Furtwängler, whose performances have enthralled listeners from his day to ours."
