As a confirmed Wilhelm Furtwängler fan, I have gone "overboard" with his output. It was nosreme's post on another thread [What NEW discs are you adding to your collection - Page 94] that illustrated an 80-CD set of live performances from 1939 to 1954 put out on the King International label from Japan. I don't have this one. Will I really need it? I highly doubt it.
I just took a count on Furtwängler in my CD collection (started in 1985) and I count 205 listings on a wide variety of labels. This means there are literally hundred and hundreds of individual recordings of Furtwängler's commercial- and recorded repertoire. This includes everything he did for EMI, including the 55-CD box set put out by EMI [52324], everything on DGG, including their 34-CD compendium [486 3789], his complete Decca [482 8537], the 107-CD Membran [233110], and numerous labels including Archipel, Audite, Arkadia, Biddulph, Classical Society, Danacord, Dutton, Elaboration, Emblem, Fonit Cetra, Gebhardt, Globe, Guild Historical, Hänssler, Koch, Living Stage, Lys, Memories, Music & Arts, Nuova Era, Orfeo (8- and 16-CD sets), TIM (Past Perfect), Pearl, Preiser, Price-Less, Radio Netherlands, Simax, Tahra, Urania, VAI, Verona, Testament and Teldec. In aa few cases, Furtwängler only appears in one selection on some of these labels. The major labels often combine labels such as Teldec and other labels owned by Universal of Warner. Is there an enormous amount of duplication/triplication, etc.? Yes, there is, but some recordings are more superior in sound that others.
So, my question is this: What has King International placed in this 80-CD box in the way of live recordings that does not already appear on any of the labels shown above? It is so common today for one company to "swipe" someone else's disc, copy it and release it, all due to the way the legal issues appear, based on a time-line. Herr Furtwängler appears on many more labels than those that are shown above. I have been very careful to not duplicate repertoire where it is obvious that is the same recording. Recording dates of live material vary and are often inaccurate so, one does have to be alert! In the case of DGG and EMI/Warner, getting their mega sets embraces also the original single-issue CDs is many cases.
The purpose of this post is not to advise anyone on how great a collector I am or showing off in any way - but illustrates my absolute interest in the art of this conductor. Any input you might have on this new KING issue though, if you are aware, will be of interest to me. ♫
Collecting Furtwängler can almost become a nightmare if one is a "completist."

Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
The Tower-King box consists of nearly all recently remastered (yes-remastered, not recopied nth generation recordings from dubious sources) CDs from impeccable sources, e.g. King bought the Tahra catalog several years ago. It's mostly for dedicated Furtwangler collectors, obviously, and am I ever glad I have it. Those who disdain it by appying a "needs test" to others' preferences completely miss the point. The set was the number one selling item on Tower/Japan's classical sales charts for several weeks after it was released (and may be now--I haven't checked).

Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
Strange that I never saw anything about the King set being available. I've done some checking, Amazon/Japan, etc., and can find no listing for the 80-CD set. How long ago was it issued and is it still being made available? Can you possibly point me to a site that may show something about this set? Much appreciated.

Thank you, Holden. Too bad I can't read Japanese! As interesting as this may be, I am going to live with what I have and be happy with that.

Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
That set was, and remains a Tower/JP exclusive (supposedly) limited to 500 copies. Tower/JP does not do mail orders outside Japan so we foreigners have to rely on one of the Japan-based proxy buying/shipping services. If that ebay listing is for the complete set in undamaged condition, grab it as it's about $150 - $200 less than you'd pay to buy and ship through a proxy service. The rear CD jackets are in English and contain the recording/performance dates, venue, etc.

Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
This is going to be extremely controversial, and I apologize to anyone whom I may have offended, but I wouldn't touch this set if I could get it for $5.00 with free shipping.
Firstly, and probably least important, I have no desire to hear standard repertoire such as Bruckner in mediocre mono sound when I can hear more modern recordings (I spent much of Friday listening to some of Barenboim's Teldec Bruckner cycle with the Berlin Philharmonic).
Additionally, orchestral standards have risen so much over the last 75 years or so that the orchestras conducted by Furtwängler in these recordings were inferior to the Fresno Philharmonic, and that does not even take into account that the Berlin Philharmonic was seriously damaged by its expulsion of Jewish players (particularly strings) after 1933 and the Vienna Philharmonic was similarly damaged after 1938. Those players who managed to survive the war and did not wind up in Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, or Treblinka did not, for the most part, return to those orchestras after the end of the war; they were safely in London, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, or Melbourne and most of them wanted no part of Germany or Austria at that point.
Moreover, and most seriously, the views held by Furtwängler seriously damaged, and continue to some extent to damage, classical music. Although it is true that Furtwängler never joined the Nazi party, and that he did help some Jewish musicians, particularly early when it was still relatively easy to get out of Germany, the fact is that he clearly had many völkisch views. According to these views, there was a clear distinction between culture and civilization; culture was rural, organic and rooted in the soil and in the native population, while civilization was urban, cosmopolitan, and somewhat artificial. Austro-German classical music (i.e., Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, et al.) was actually part of culture, not civilization, and was intrinsically tied to the deep structure of the Germanic people; Jews and Slavs could not properly interpret it, no matter how technically skilled they were. This led to tropes such as "empty virtuosity," which, in Furtwängler's day, were frequently used to attack Jewish musicians, and today, are still being used to attack musicians of Asian origin. In a period in which diversity is being sought, use of these tropes is very damaging and offensive.
I realize that views and tastes may differ, but I do not understand, and have never understood, the Furtwängler cult.

Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
Good for you, Modernistfan. That is really well put.
It comes back to the never-resolved question of how far do we consider the composer/performer's moral position in playing their works. Gergiev has not been in my CD player, for example, since the Russian invasion. I don't have a consistent answer, except that I suppose it depends partly on the work. I've never listened to the Horst Wessel song, for example.
In Furtwanger's case, if you dislike the playing, the other questions fall away I suppose.

Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
There is a mystique of sorts about Furtwängler and it goes back to the time of his death in 1954. Most serious collectors I know collect him with great respect to his art and work. I, too, got on the bandwagon and have never regretted it. Insofar as sonics in recordings are concerned, yes, we do have vivid, lifelike recordings that far surpass in sound quality today than when Furtwängler was recorded, many times in less than ideal live conditions. Still, one hears the kind of interpretation from those legendary recordings that shines through, nonetheless. As an intense pianophile, I still find qualities in pianist's playing that take me back to the day of cylinders and acoustic recordings, Wilhelm Backhaus, for example, and given the digital technology of today, those early discs become better and better.
Insofar as Furtwängler is concerned, politically, so much that I read about him, quotes from Menuhin and so many others, that he helped many musicians through one of the most horrific periods in our time (as did Walter Gieseking). Same can be said about another artist, Elly Ney, who was considered Hitler's favorite pianist, but played for him only once (by demand) from what I read, and what Ney's daughter has reported. When she plays her Beethoven, one does not sense in the least any antisemitic qualities (we might call coldness, lack of heart, etc.) and she did play and record Mendelssohn if I recall. I do not approve of any actions taken by people who created the Holocaust and am disheartened when I find that there were many who sided with the Nazis (Cortot, for example). Then we have others, such as Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, who denied any corroboration with the Nazis until some proof came forth that indicated she did. And we could talk about Kirsten Flagstad. If we listen to any of these great artists and are knocked off our feet because of their art — without realizing their attachment to Nazisim — and then discover their true actions and philosophies, it no doubt colors our opinion of the person, but perhaps not their music-making. And how can that be?

Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
It's time to order some more of the Grand Slam Furtwangler releases I'd bypassed earlier
Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
Kirsten Flagstadt suffered a great deal because of her marriage to a man believed to have been a profiteer during wartime. In fact, he had been arrested by the Gestapo and held for some days and his own son was in the underground. Nevertheless important people spoke out about Kirsten Flagstadt and her husband and her career never really recovered to what it once was. Outside the Oslo Opera House there is a life-sized statue of Kirsten Flagstadt, who has been brought back into the hearts of the Norwegian people.
As for Furtwängler and other German artists who haven't survived untarnished from the Nazi era - and of those for whom there are still suspicions - I can only say that this wouldn't and doesn't affect my enjoyment of their music. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau was in the Wehrmacht and he ended up in an Italian prison. Why didn't he simply refuse to fight? Why did all of Germany continue to fight and follow the orders of Hitler, especially towards the end? They could have all left Germany - like Conrad Veidt - as many people did who were not even Jewish. One such musical person to leave was Eric Kleiber and when he returned to Europe after the War he found it difficult to pick up where he'd left off because many colleagues regarded him as a traitor to the German people. That promised job at the Vienna State Opera never materialized for just this reason.
Perhaps was more prescient than Eric Kleiber. Who can say. But since none of us walked in any of their shoes it's easier to look back and judge. As far as I'm concerned the entire German nation was to blame, as they voted Hitler into power. Enthusiastically. Sometimes you just have to be a whole lot smarter.
I think this is one of the finest performances of this work I've ever heard: electric and absolutely on fire. Sound quality poor but it glows in the dark. The opening movement is so symbolic of the cataclysm.

If the USA could use the expertise of one Werner von Braun then I don't have a problem with Wilhelm Furtwängler

Re: Furtwängler CD numbers - overwhelming!
Thank you for that extended listing Philip M. I was most interested to see what collaborations were in this massive set. Picking out names, I was able to survey my own collection was happy to see that most of those collaborations (if not all) have appeared on other independent labels, artists such as Schneiderhan, Hansen, Aeschbacher, Scarpini, de Vito, Scarpini, and others. They may not be identical performance dates but conductor and soloist would be the same. It is amazing to me, too, how many times Beethoven's 9th was performed! I have a number of them already but certainly not every one. These labels would be Tahra, Archipel, Music & Arts, Arbiter, and quite a few others. So much Furtwängler out there on so many labels not to mention the major labels.
