Furtwängler's Beethoven recordings have long been considered milestones in twentieth-century interpretation. Among the Beethoven recordings made by the German maestro during the war (1942-1944), they have always enjoyed great prestige. This edition, based on sources from the RRG broadcasts, offers, after a balanced restoration, perhaps the finest audio version of these important documents. The quality is guaranteed to be comparable to the finest recordings of the 1960s.
