“… I’m not claiming that this performance will suit every mood or even every taste, but if and when it does hit target it will leave you changed for ever.”

“… Musically, this concert is one of the great moments of documented live music. Furtwängler has to be judged by his concerts and not by his studio recordings if you want to understand what was really going on there - which of course will always remain hypothetical. His Ninth, especially in this prominent concert, will remain a particularly thrilling adventure with every listen… Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Elisabeth Höngen, Hans Hopf and Otto Edelmann form a solo quartet that one can only dream of today, and the chorus of the Bayreuth Festival goes completely beyond all reserves. One senses not only the contagious enthusiasm, but also the courage of all those involved, to which Furtwängler motivated them with all the power of his presence…”
