*[[Ravel]], [https://youtu.be/EXiH86tO_7c Daphnes et Chloe], Wilhelm Furtwangler 1944 restored. 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.

*Richard Strauss, [https://youtu.be/mRsxE68_ahs Alpine Symphony], Yevgeny Mravinsky, Leningrad Philharmonic 1962. (augmented brass like no other recording).
*[[Tchaikovsky]], [https://youtu.be/x2tTfTVzD0M Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique" mvt 4], Mravinsky, Leningrad Philharmonic 1960. (sheer terrifying anger at fortissimo)
*Tchaikovsky, [https://youtu.be/HpvsrEezl7s Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique" mvt 4], Furtwangler, Berlin Philharmonic 1951 (good contrast to Mravinsky, particularly the closing bars)
*Zenon Kosmowski, [https://youtu.be/mso1H0LOLKY Wehevolles erbe]. (provincial theatre at its best).
