Perfekt, wie immer bei Furtwängler! Das ist das richtige Tempo.

this "slow speed" is the truer best speed. Others fail to see the light of genius in this speed.

Furtwängler is the only conductor who has understood Bach and Bach is the greatest musician!

What a depth and richness of feeling here! For comparisons sake, I just listened to the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra's interpretation of this piece. They have a very clean, crisp sound...very light and pure...but it has very little feeling, and of course they play it too fast. Very few seem to understand the feeling of Bach's music. Furtwängler did. And Glenn Gould did. But who have we got today?

Лучшее исполнение этой гениальной музыки. Слёзы радости...

Very well put. Bach, above all, is transcendental music and the interpretation has to be soulful. Recording quality comes second. Technical excellency will never compensate for the lack of soul.

insanely serene

No-one today would dare to take this piece this slowly... But in the hands of Furtwängler it becomes truly transcendental; (if not trance inducing!)

" Se le porte della percezione venissero pulite e purificate tutto apparirebbe all'uomo com'è , Infinito" William Blake, poeta visionario 1757

I guess part of the reason why it sounds richer is because he's using a full string section. But the feeling here is amazing. I never experienced this piece like this before.

The greatest music in this century.

One of my favorites.. Wonderful..

Do you want to say that this is the best performance of this divine song?

Oltre Giove. Ingresso all'Infinito.

Grazie

To me yes, although the sound is very weak. It is even better than Furtwängler's recordings after the war. I love some of Furtwängler's recordings of Bach. The top is the St Matthew Passion of 1952. Unfortunately only the half of the recording remains but it is the best ever recorded by far. It is not available on KZread. You can find Furtwängler's recording of 1954 on youtube but it is much less good (except the 'finale').

"Heiland!!"

Unfortunately no. Bach's recordings of Menuhin in the 1930s are also fantastic. In particular, the best sonatas and partitas for solo violin ever. The same for the concertos with Enesco.

Do you have a favorite version of the Moonlight Sonata? P.S. Glenn Gould version I do not like, because too fast.

@KorovaMilkBarbie I'll translate for the non-Italian speakers here. Quiet please! Advantage Furtwangler. (SCNR)

It`s Enescu not Enesco He changed his name when he moved to France

I have found: Edwin Fischer 1949. Unfortunately, the sound is not good but much better than Gleen Gould, Claudio Arrau, Arthur Rubinstein and Wilhelm Kempff. Edwin Fischer is fantastic as a pianist as Dinu Lipatti, Alfred Cortot and the best one: Clara Haskil.

@KorovaMilkBarbie Hah you don't say! You probably didn't get the joke ;-)

the slow speed of it is driving me mad, i think the original is better.

That is the original, it must be slow according to Bach.

I thinks its good for background music while you do something else, but i dont like listening to this without doing anything else
