About

Please note that, despite the cover image for this title, the Schubert Symphony no.9 recording is with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (1951).


The last '9th' directed by Wilhelm Furtwängler, who perhaps captured the orchestral quintessence of Beethoven's art. His 'Ode to Joy' from the hand of Schiller, the anthem of 20th and 21st century Europe, is all the more powerful considering he had only a few days to live.

An alternative to the famous vision that he gave in 1951 at the reopening of the Bayreuth Festival.

Recorded at Lucerne Festival, August 22 1954.
