Beethoven, L. Van: Symphony No. 5 / Egmont Overture / Weber, C.M. Von: Der Freischutz Overture (Furtwangler, Early Recordings, Vol. 2) (1926–1935)
Album by Wilhelm Furtwängler & Berliner Philharmoniker
This compilation album by conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler comprises early orchestral recordings made between 1926 and 1935. The performances exemplify the Germanic late-Romantic orchestral tradition, with expansive tempos, flexible phrasing and dense orchestral textures, and they document Furtwängler's formative interpretative approach prior to his later career.
