Furtwängler’s recording of Schumann’s Fourth Symphony, long described as the recording of the century, often appeared in his concert programs. It is well known that during the recording session—after a series of interruptions from the sound engineers—Furtwängler’s temper flared.
He shouted toward the control booth: “I will tolerate no further interruptions! I shall raise my baton and conduct this symphony from beginning to end, without pause. At the first intervention from your engineers, I will stop everything and abandon this recording altogether. Please set your machines once and for all!”
The symphony, lasting about 32 minutes, was duly recorded in 32 minutes—and turned out to be one of the greatest ever made. Of this Fourth Symphony, Furtwängler said: “We have time; this work is absolutely worthless if played in a hurry.”
As in all his other interpretations of this work, the great German conductor begins with a slow and majestic introduction, gradually gaining momentum and an irresistible pace before launching into the Allegro, played here with blazing intensity.
The second movement, with its famous theme that influenced the third movement of Brahms’s Third Symphony, provides an anticlimax, featuring a delightful solo violin trio by Siegfried Borries.
The magnificent third movement (Scherzo) is performed with a sense of the inexorable that only Furtwängler could summon.
Before the tumultuous final movement begins, there is the famous transition passage in which Furtwängler builds the most impressive crescendo ever heard.
Enjoy your listening
