We previously announced it. Our new SWF D17 product is now available on the shop at a price of €15.
Here's a reminder of its content:
– Swedish and Austrian national anthems
– Haydn: Symphony No 94
– Sibelius: En Saga
– R. Strauss: Don Juan
– Beethoven : Symphony No 5
The radio announcements are also fully translated into English and French in the booklets. The cover photo was taken during the dress rehearsal (Don Juan).
This is a great moment in music, each work being performed to a rare perfection, but also with a very active reading. Furtwängler was in top form. And while many recordings of the Fifth do exist, or of Don Juan, there is only one other version of En Saga and Haydn's symphony.
The files — in high definition — are sourced from the Swedish Radio, and sound particularly good, with more depth and definition than on our old compact disc.
The podcast, available on this site, presents the product with sound excerpts.
