Dear friends, tonight I want to make further testimony to the supreme art of the great Furtwängler. I chose this beautiful debut CD of the collection of works by Brahms. Its content is exceptionally beautiful: the beautiful and unique First Symphony and the always brilliant, charming and beautiful Haydn Variations. A classic album, which has always been stunning fans and say "no less" admirers even among their own recordings of Furtwängler.
time ago left an entry identical to this with the approach (I think the best has been done together with those of Szell with what I consider a true work of art and a unique monument) of Furtwängler and the orchestra NDR Symphony Orchestra Hamburg in some exceptional recordings from 1951 that I recommend visiting the enormous value of http://juliosbv.blogspot.com/2010/05/brams-sinfonia-n-1-variaciones-haydn disk. html
Furtwängler, I think not saying anything new, was a gift, I did had something peculiar true interpretations of their discoveries, unique and unrepeatable, became an adventure in which we discover wonderful surprises, always new shades, sounds, turns, changes and sensations. Something very similar to what could Celibidache in their performances but I think with a difference: natural. Musicians had their own stage fright, not knowing where he was going to devise the implementation of Furtwängler and many were shocked or scared to say the anarchist movement, apparently with no sense of the baton, hands, gestures or gaze of the master. This does not mean they had no preparation, I had it, but ... always the surprise of the day was magical interpretation. And unlike Celibidache, Furtwängler was not averse to recording studios in addition to getting amazing results. (In review, such as on this disc).
with the interpretations of the Beethoven Symphonies something very similar happens. There are gems record taken in concert Beethoven show a unique, one in each hand and always wonderful. But whenever I hear his comprehensive EMI I can not but impress of his Seventh, make my soul with the Fourth, amazed at the beautiful simplicity of the First and Second Symphonies, chills with his third, to admire the purity of its eighth or ninth hat off to the sunset. Always, always I have as a reference case for taste.
The Brahms First Symphony is one of the greatest symphonies ever written. Absolutely wonderful, exceptionally written, soulful, musical beauty, wonderful themes, a beautiful instrument with highly emotional passages, with a colorful orchestral sensual and full of passion. A work of genius, of very long construction time, from 1862 until its release by Otto Dessoff the November 4, 1876 in Karlsruhe spend almost 14 years. Brahms's own uncertainties, external pressures to become the new Beethoven, etc. Many factors influence this long gestation. But it is a fruit in point, ready to enjoy, be like Beethoven or not, will want to be or not to continue (what a beautiful tribute to Brahms the greatest of all time) the case is that the end result is a symphonic work own, beautiful, different, which overcomes this barrier historical and musicological Beethoven to become a play with identity and self worth. An important influence was Brahms and that was a big push for its completion was the success of the precious Haydn Variations, 1873. And the final result is a wonderful combination of influences from Beethoven to his beloved Bach reflet a basket of new flavors, colors, renovated, fresh scents. A work of beautiful melody, beautiful counterpoints of superb technique and profound emotion.
The play takes place in a sensational passing through a first move bellísmo, tremendous depth of soul going through a slow second movement, and bittersweet melancholy third movement followed by a wonderful, pastoral and idyllic, with a stunning timber and reaching one of the movements most beautiful end can be heard for their wonderful structure, escepcional reason of the tube, the choirs of trumpets and trombones impressive and the final development as progressive wonderful hymn to his impressive final trombones metals proud.
All she is able to move you from beginning to end, to bring out your most hidden feelings, to make you smile, amazed and mourn as few works are able to do so.
exceptional work in all a unique, amazing and just wonderful.
Furtwängler and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra do the rest. Furtwängler is superb, coloring and highlighting details of a sensational, leading to a unique energy and depth. The orchestra is beautiful in its interpretation, with superb sound, a perfect physique for this work, a deep sound, lyrical, gentle, cheerful or emotional depending on the time. And Furtwängler takes out the essence of music: the passion and feeling.
exceptionally hard in all a valuable, unique or in addition to other recordings. A record of the ancients, of those who have soul and meaning. A disc that allows you to enjoy and savor the art Brahms directorial Furtwängler and stunningly beautiful that can be the Vienna Philharmonic.
Enjoy a wonderful and beautiful always Haydn Variations with grace, musicality, nuance and sonority that Furtwängler print this small work of art and enjoy the coral final truth.

Sinfonía nº 1: 27 de enero de 1952. Viena, Sala Dorada. Live. OF de Viena. (La anterior entrada reflejaba como fecha la del 17 al 20 y 25 de noviembre de 1947. Viena, Sala Dorada. Nuestro amigo Quim me comunica que hay un error que efectivamente existe. El CD de EMI que poseo tiene la fecha errónea y no parece que corresponda a la grabación en estudio de 1947. Los típicos aplausos del final lo indican así como la duración de las pistas. Pido mis más sinceras disculpas por tan gran error. Muchas gracias amigo Quim).
