A few years ago, the SWF issued a study, Furtwängler in Lübeck (1911-1915), based notably on period letters from Lilli Dieckmann.
Today, we invite you to watch a filmed documentary. It has the same title. It was directed by Ute Neumerkel. We already know her: ten years ago, she interviewed Friederike Kunz, daughter of Wilhelm Furtwängler.
This exciting new documentary is narrated in German, but with English subtitles. Richly documented (with unpublished iconography) and illustrated with sound excerpts borrowed from the conductor's discography, it tells the story of a journey — that of the young conductor in the Hanseatic city — through the reading of period correspondence and rare documents.
This documentary can be enjoyed by everyone. Go on, you won't regret it!
