During the Nazi era, he debuted at the Salzburg Festival, with the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, and during World War II he conducted at the Berlin State Opera.

Berlin Philharmonic

Since Furtwängler's tenure, the orchestra has made numerous recordings, with the number of recording ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
