Eis que aqui temos Furtwangler, à frente da Filarmônica de Berlim, regendo Beethoven. Mas alemão que isso impossível. Segundo conta Alex Ross, Furtwangler era o regente favorito de Hitler. O Fuhrer diabólico, vez ou outra, costumava assistir aos ensaios conduzidos pelo regente. Este disco traz gravações bem antigas. Algumas são da década de 40; já, outras, são da década de 50, por isso, a qualidade não é das melhores. Mas serve, justamente, para mostrar as qualidades de Furtwangler, um dos grandes regentes do século passado. Uma boa apreciação!

Regarding your remarks that New Yorker music critic Alex Ross asserts that AH had Furt. as his favorite conductor...
I have read EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE from a number of other authoritative sources on music in the Third Reich. Furt was "used" for propaganda purposes to an extent -- he could scarcely avoid this as head of the BPO -- but was DISTINCTLY NOT the favorite conductor of AH! In contradiction I've read that AH distrusted WF, particularly later in the regime after WF came out against the heavy censorship of important German composers and artists like Hindemith and Bruno Walter.
Eventually in fact, WF had to 'flee for his life' to Switzlerland after the Reich began a sort of roundup of dissidents and even SEMI-dissident figures who were not ardent Party members, toward the end of 1944. Furt apparently managed to arrive in Switzerland just a few hours after he would have been seized by Reich police and Gestapo.
I would appreciate it if you would VET and FACT-CHECK these issues with respect to AH and WF, and if necessary revise your remarks here--if you come up with the same information that I have read.

What you are saying is based on personal loyalty. WF was by far AH's favorite conductor. Very much so, that AH even appreciated some Brahms pieces (only due to WF conducting). A composer he notoriously hated. WF and Clemens Krauss were AH's favorite conductors. And he disliked party "loyalists" Karajan and Bohm (based on their conducting).
