Description:

Licensed reissue of TAHRA's famous "Furtwängler in Italy" disc! The precious sound source is revived with new remastering. We are pleased to announce the licensed reissue of "Furtwängler in Italy" (FURT-1080) originally released on the TAHRA label. Furtwängler's last recording with the RAI Symphony Orchestra is very valuable. The Tarra disc, which was said to have the best sound quality of all Furtwängler recordings, has been remastered to make it even easier to listen to. We recommend this recording as the definitive recording of this performance. Furtwängler's relationship with Italy was deep, and according to records, he gave concerts in Italy from 1922 to 1954. The recordings include 69 orchestral concerts and 112 operas, featuring 31 composers and 76 works. The Japanese translation of the commentary on the reception of Furtwängler in Italy, including how critics and audiences of the time praised and criticized his music, is also valuable. The program includes Furtwängler's important repertoire, "Unfinished" and Brahms No. 1. The performance has intensity, of course, but it is even more impressive for its great intonation and depth of expression.In the first movement of "Unfinished," the subtlety of the modulating "sign" before the presentation of the second theme is also Fulven's. The finale of Brahms' "Unfinished" is also a masterpiece! Brahms' finale is also a masterpiece, and the Italian audience cheered loudly! King International
