Wilhelm Furtwängler, Conductor
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Recorded on September 28 - October 6, 1954
at the Grosser Saal, Musikverein, Vienna

The original intention was to record a complete Ring Cycle, but Furtwängler passed away less than two months after this session in November, 1954. What remains is not only Furtwangler's last major studio recording, but an immortal, and often talked about, performance. It is presented here for the first time in full acoustic resolution.
