    Furtwängler comes straight from the 19th century. Son of an archaeologist specialized in ancient Greece, consciously or not, he certainly lived from the inside this mythical belief that Germany was the successor of Greece, bearer of an idealistic message, both Dionysian and Apollonian. What he gives us to hear, it is not a restored past, "historically informed", it is the sound product of a sensitivity and a thought deeply anchored in the romantic era, in the time of Wagner, Brahms, Bruckner. The work would be an organic being whose interpreter, acting like an inspired prophet and as if in a trance, would bring out and feel the telluric forces that work it. Nothing could be more anti-modern than this idealistic conception. This is why, when one listens to a Furtwängler interpretation, one feels a different emotion.

    Furtwängler a toujours été le grand protagoniste de Bruckner. En 1942, la firme Telefunken persuada Furtwängler d'expérimenter les améliorations apportées dans la technique d'enregistrement. Ayant consenti, il opta pour le célèbre Adagio de la 7ème symphonie, et plus tard pour l'Ouverture d'Alceste de Gluck, en vue de vérifier, comme il l'a dit lui-même, si les microphones étaient capables de restituer l'ampleur de son orchestre, et particulièrement les fameuses contrebasses de Berlin.
    Les résultats furent étonnants. Cette interprétation de Bruckner par Furtwängler est la plus lente et pourtant la plus soutenue avec sa tension saisissante. Une fois de plus l'élément tragique et la grandeur du discours sont inégalés. C’est bien un enregistrement pour une île déserte, heureusement restauré pour la plus grande joie des mélomanes du monde, à garder et à chérir pendant toute leur vie.
    Ironiquement, sa grandeur tragique n'a pas dissuadé les nazis de diffuser cette enregistrement à Radio Berlin pour annoncer la mort de Hitler, bien après que Furtwängler ait fui l'Allemagne. Contentons-nous de dire simplement qu'aucun homme, aussi grand soit-il, ou a fortiori vil, n'est digne des dimensions de cette œuvre.

      According to me the Adagio of Bruckner’s VIII by Furtwangler in Vienna 1944 is even more extraordinary. There is an infinite hope and love that appears at the end that is still hidden here behind the transcendent presence. This is a general trend of Furtwängler ‘s recording during WWII : 1942-43 still very tragic, 1944-45 the spiritual dimension transcends the tragedy.

    This remastered 1942 Version conducted by Furtwängler together with the Berlin Philharmonic is just beyond performance. I am totally impressed of how modern sound technology was able to invoke those one-off nuances, those miniscule detail that completes the overall mood from what can be ultimately deduce from the inspiration-- which is almost actually got lost given the recording equipment constraints of the time. It (Adiago) felt as if that being lost in the detail for seeing the forest for the trees-- wasn't so bad after all.

    Wunderschöne und tiefempfundene Interpertation dieses ewigen und perfekt komponierten Satzes von Bruckners 7. Sinfonie mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Maestro dirigeirt das weltklassige Orchester im detaillierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch ziemlich hoch als eine Originaleaufnahme im Kriegsjahr 1942. Wahrhaft legendär!

  • @berlinzerberus
    @berlinzerberus 2 роки тому +27

    Diese Temporückungen, genau richtig. Das ist Wilhelm Furtwängler. Er weiß es,
    wann man das Tempo modifizieren muss. aber das machen ja viele große Dirigenten.
    Jedoch bei ihm ist es immer organisch, wie etwas, dass sich aus dem Vorigen zum Neuen
    herausbildet. Unglaublich, das zu hören, aber das macht die Großartigkeit dieses
    Dirigenten aus: Er ist einmalig!

    Dolce e disfatto crepuscolo di ogni speranza: Furtwangler sembra saldare, con la leggerezza di una foglia che danza la sua fine, lo sfacelo dello spirito tedesco allo sfinimento dell'Impero Asburgico di Bruckner...Una comunanza spirituale che non sospinge alla spiegazione ma solo all'ascolto immerso nel capolavoro. Questo sguardo e questo incontro sono eventi irripetibili.

    Je n'avais jamais entendu une symphonie de Bruckner par Furtwängler !!! Cet Adagio est authentiquement au-dessus de tout ... il n'y a guère que Karajan, en son ultime enregistrement, peu avant sa mort, qui atteint ... ou plutôt ... qui approche une telle plénitude !!! Quelle différence avec les "baroqueux" qui se sont emparés de Bruckner aux fins d'en faire le "prétexte" à leur "démonstration" de ... "paléomusicologie" ... avec sons et instruments "d'époque" !!!
