Description
Volume 1 of this new Naxos edition of Wilhelm Furtw?ñngler's pre-1940s recordings includes an account of J.S. Bach's third 'Brandenburg Concerto' that is lightyears away from the 'historically informed' norm of today, yet eloquent, deeply-felt and with a real sense of light and shade. The two Mozart opera overtures are typically dramatic and intense, while in the ever-popular 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' Furtw?ñngler caresses the melodies, allowing rhythms to stand proud and making effective use of dynamic contrasts. The Overture to Schubert's 'Rosamunde' is especially weighty in Furtw?ñngler's hands, while the B flat 'Entr'acte' is tender and warmly expressed, and the G major 'Ballet Music' puckish and witty.
