Coming soon - in high definition
In 1926, Furtwängler made his first recording. In 2026, spread out over the year, the SWF will release a downloadable collection: the complete Polydor recordings (1926–1937). We have chosen this title for convenience, as Polydor was only an export label for Deutsche Grammophon recordings (distributed under the label “Die Stimme seines Herrn” in Germany, “Decca” in the United Kingdom, “Brunswick” in the United States, etc.).
A complete remastering underlies this one-of-a-kind edition. The files will be available in 2 formats: HD and CD-quality (44-16).
Each volume features a drawing of Furtwängler on the cover.

Stay tuned on 26 December for a study about Furtwängler's first recording, and on 9 January for the very first episode (SWF D22) of this series!
