Furtwangler - Beethoven 5th Symphony 1943 torrent

HQ Vinyl rip of Beethoven's 5th symphony in c minor conducted by wilhelm furtwangler and performed by the berlin philharmonic orchestra in 1943. this is one of the first recordings using early magnetic tape developed by BASF in germany during the war. these masters were taken by the soviets at the end of WW2 and remained disappeared until pressings of the recordings showed up on the Melodya label in russia. other labels then acquired these pressings and began their own distribution in the west.

i have removed all the clicks and a little of the background noise - but not much as i didn't want to interfere with the sound to the detriment of the performance. as this is an early tape recording there is inherent hiss - however the performance is worth it!

from a 1974 pressing by the italian label "ariston".
