As previously announced, a new product is now available on the shop:
SWF D15
In addition to the 1953 Deutsche Grammophon recording with the Berliner, now re-mastered in high definition, you will find a facsimile of the original score used by Furtwängler, with its numerous annotations and modifications (lightening of the orchestration). The booklet (25 pages!) includes an analysis by conductor Jan Moritz Onken, translated by Marc Trautmann, so you can follow the score while listening to Furtwängler's performance.
We therefore invite you to immerse yourself totally in Furtwängler's grandiose vision and artistic work. We remind you that the license obtained from Universal (DGG registration) has been granted for 3 years, and excludes streaming. So don't delay, and enjoy the download.
... But not forgetting to watch the podcast.
The development of this product proved costly: license granted by Universal, cost of scanning the score (Zentrabibliothek, Zürich), cost of translating (French + English) the 60 pages of Onken's work...
So we hope you will understand why the price is €15.00, a higher price than usual, but inferior to the real cost price of the product.
The SWF has made an exceptional effort to make this extraordinary project a reality, and now it's time for you to enjoy it...
