These performances are, in my opinion, among his greatest. The Bayreuth Meistersinger, with an excellent cast, is as alive as any on record. The increasing excitement of the chorus as Walther sings the Prize Song is palpable. And the sound is excellent, except for a few seconds at the beginning of the 1st Act and the fact that there are some chunks missing.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI extracted the audio from the famous AEG Factory film of the Meistersinger Prelude because I always thought it a magnificent interpretation. Although improving the sound has made some orchestral mistakes more evident, this is still such an unusually lean and powerfully fleet interpretation in our pompous times that it is well worth listening to. It is one of the fastest performances I have heard, which reminds us that Wagner was played this way before Soltian and Thielemannian heaviness and affectation changed perceptions of how this music should sound.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAgain, there is no other concert performance of the Prelude \u0026amp; Liebestod from Tristan \u0026amp; Isolde as powerful as this one. There is, of course, drama and ecstasy, with that typical Furtwängler heroism and eroticism. The playing of the orchestra is stunning, despite high-frequency distortion at critical times. The waves of sound overwhelm one and a sublime experience is unavoidable.\u003cbr\u003eEduardo Chibás\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"piecedata\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PRODUCT-PART-NUMBER\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/ARCHIVAL-SERIES-LOGO_480x480.png?v=1547047762\" width=\"128\" height=\"121\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"60\" width=\"664\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/1121-24WagnerMeistersingerBay_43.pdf?v=1643032402\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/download_liner_notes_735eceed-201e-4f62-b888-d1fed8b53db5_medium.jpg?3217511782796413000\" style=\"float: none;\" height=\"65\" width=\"229\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.amazonaws.com\/1-01Wagner++Prelude+to+Act+I+Sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/16-44_shopify-download-butt_large.png?11917427187170401568\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.amazonaws.com\/Beethoven+Piano+Cto.+No.+4+Furtwangler+Sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlay Sample Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/hdtt-music-player.s3.amazonaws.com\/1121-4+Wagner+Die+Meistersinger+von+Nurnberg+-+Prelude+-++-+Furtwangler\/audioplayer.html\" border=\"0\" height=\"450\" width=\"550\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Furtwangler Sound","offers":[{"title":"16\/44 PCM Flac Mono Digital Download","offer_id":42387427688668,"sku":"HDTT13001","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/products\/1121-Wagner-Die-Meistersinger-von-Nurnberg---Prelude-----Furtwangler-Cover.png?v=1643032253","url":"https:\/\/www.highdeftapetransfers.ca\/ja\/products\/wagner-die-meistersinger-von-nurnberg-prelude-tristan-isolde-prelude-liebestod-furtwangler-berlin-philharmonic-orchestra","provider":"High Definition Tape Transfers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
