Description:

Furtwngler & the Vienna Philharmonic,Bruckner in Stuttgart: Romantic2 tracks, 38 cm, open-reel tape reissueFrom the ProducerTwo live recordings of Bruckners Symphony No. 4, Romantic, performed by Furtwngler and the Vienna Philharmonic, are known to exist: one from Stuttgart (October 22, 1951) and one from Munich (October 29, 1951). Although the October 29 performance was released first, the October 22 recordingreleased lateroffers even clearer sound quality, and it is generally considered the preferred choice between the two. This release has been restored from a 2-track, 38-centimeter open-reel tape, bringing the performance back to life with the utmost fidelity. That said, such a richly varied, dynamic, and romantic performance is truly unique to Furtwngler. (Naoya Hirabayashi)King International
