I also have the 9th from Bayreuth, AFAIK Furtw?ngler have recorded about 10 times this Symphony and everyone is different, i.e. I remember a recording from ca. 1943 during the IIWW it was a very dramatic performance. cheers Lluis El 19/05/2012, a las 10:05, Frank Dernie escribi?: > Lluis, > > I agree with your sentiments completely.
