Description:

[Classical Masters No. 8] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters made by Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra played No. 2 on a large scale while maintaining the brightness and lyricism of the work. The intensity of the fourth movement when the restrained expression burns out, and the ineffable melancholy of the third movement of the third No. 3 are both Furtwängler's signature.
