The Wilhelm Furtwängler BluRay project is developed in close relationship with the
Wilhelm-Furtwängler-Society, Berlin, Germany.
The idea came up from the Japanese Wilhelm-Furtwängler-Society, who proposed to
put the audio-visual material from the famous conductor together.
The german archive was rich on material for that – the president of the society, Dr.
Helge Gruenewald opened their archive and provided also the text and never seen
photographs in the attached (approxm.) 128 pages book.
Disc 1 Concert excerpts and news from 1940 – 1963
Disc 2 Recollections and talks about Wilhelm Furtwängler with Abbado, Adorno, Menuhin, Thärichen, u.v.a.
Disc 3 Film Documentation about Wilhelm Furtwängler from his nephew Florian Furtwängler / 1968
All films and sounds are totally new restored and mastered and technically on the actual newest standard.
Subtitles in English – Japanese – German
The Blu-rays and book are packed together in a luxury box-set.
