Description:

Classical Masters" series. This album features Wilhelm Furtwängler's even-numbered symphonies No. 6 "Rural" and No. 8, which have received less attention and recordings than the odd-numbered Beethoven symphonies. The warm atmosphere throughout the performance is unparalleled, and the great master's reverence for the composer and his works is unmistakable.
