Dear members,

In the next few days, we will be offering you an exceptional document for download: a recording of Anton Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony that Furtwängler conducted in 1941.

This moving recording is brought to you thanks to the authorization of the Wilhelm Furtwängler Center of Japan and its President Masayuki Nakamura whom the SWF would like to thank.

This version is, unfortunately, truncated. The WFCJ has intelligently overcome this problem. The missing parts have been replaced by the recordings from 1951. It is therefore possible to listen to this symphony without interruption.

We hope that this rare document will find a great resonance among you.
