GREAT PERFORMANCE! TERRIBLE SOUND!, January 21, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Der Freisch�tz (Audio CD)
This is an essential Furtwangler recording. He directs this opera like no one before or since with one exception being Keilberth on EMI. This is an opera that adapts perfectly to recording. Furtwangler blends voice and orchestra superbly. I only wish I could have been at this live Salzburg performance in 1954. A great orchestra, great conductor and the greatest Freischutz cast of it's day. You have a choice between this version or the one on EMI. There is really no choice the EMI is far superior in recording quality. (EMI 567419-2) Enjoy!
