Comment: This magnetic tape recording was expropriated by the [[Red Army]] in 1945 and returned to Germany in 1986 as a gesture of good faith shortly before the [[Fall of the Berlin Wall]] when it first became publicly available in [[the West]]. It is one of the first orchestral magnetic tape recordings made. In later issues, Deutsche Gramaphone engineers have reduced some of the over modulation, however Furtwangler's unique interpretative qualities are ever present. | + | *[[Ravel]], [https://youtu.be/EXiH86tO_7c Daphnes et Chloe], Wilhelm Furtwangler 1944 restored.
