Вильгельм Фуртвенглер - музыкальный титан, один из величайших
дирижеров 20 века. Кто-то скажет, что он величайший из всех. Великолепный,
неподражаемый интерпретатор австро-немецкого симфонического репертуара и
музыкальной драматургии Вагнера, он остается важным ориентиром для исполнителей
и публики.
Беспрецедентный объем этого набора 55CD делает его незаменимым
для меломана. Это не только первая коллекция, которая объединяет весь каталог
студийных записей Фуртвенглера, но и включает в себя все сделанные им живые
записи с целью коммерческого выпуска. Кропотливое исследование даже позволило
обнаружить сокровищницу ранее не публиковавшихся материалов, записанных в Вене
и Копенгагене. При создании этого набора были применены самые высокие художественные
и технические стандарты: каждая запись была полностью и скрупулезно
переработана в высоком разрешении, а сопровождающие комментарии и документация,
как авторитетные, так и исчерпывающие, еще больше проливают свет на философию
Фуртвенглера и его гениальность в воплощении партитуры в жизнь со свойственной
ему непосредственностью.
