Wilhelm Furtwängler conducts Beethoven's Symphony No. 9

Furtwängler’s last Ninth: Wilhelm Furtwängler conducted Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony more than one hundred times. Three months before his death in 1954, he gave his last performance in Lucerne which is now newly re-mastered. Together with the superb Philharmonia Orchestra and a stellar cast of soloists, Furtwängler accentuates the visionary character of the monumental score in his passionate interpretation.
