  <ReviewExcerpt language="de">"Die Solisten Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, die berühmte Schweizerin Elsa Cavelti, Ernst Heafliger und Otto Edelmann, der Luzerner Festspielchor sowie das Philharmonia Orchestra singen und spielen zum Niederknien aufregend. Eine aufregende aufwühlende akustische Zeitreise ins Ungeglättete, Rauhe, Elementare. Unverzichtbar!" (Der Neue Merker)</ReviewExcerpt>

  <ShortCommtent>Furtwängler’s last Ninth: Wilhelm Furtwängler conducted Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony more than one hundred times. Three months before his death in 1954, he gave his last performance in Lucerne which is now newly re-mastered. Together with the superb Philharmonia Orchestra and a stellar cast of soloists, Furtwängler accentuates the visionary character of the monumental score in his passionate interpretation.</ShortCommtent>
