How far down the Furtwangler rabbit hole did you go?

Furtwangler's live 1944 Beethoven Ninth, for all its technical defects, is probably one of the most gripping performances of any music ever recorded.  His wartime Bruckner Ninth is devastating.  If you haven't heard these performances, you should.  Brace yourself.

If you dont fell out of your chair consult a doctor...

 Valery Gergiev: The most difficult thing in conducting is to avoid a mechanical beat. This endless search for a true tempo, the right tempo for every bar of music, and not just a single tempo for the whole movement, is something few conductors ever master. Few leaders will recognize, perhaps, that it is something difficult for them, but they will try to do it and compete with Furtwängler, and most likely they will fail. Because it is a gift from God, the quality of a genius, that a conductor influences the playing of an orchestra. You cannot imagine that same orchestra playing the same way with Furtwängler and without him. It is not possible to imagine that they will do the same. Maybe they’ll be more organized, they’ll focus better on their overall game, but they won’t give that incredible expression he brings to life when leading an orchestra. Whether it’s the Berlin Philharmonic, the Hamburg Radio Orchestra or the Vienna Philharmonic, we find this incredible quality.

The ears /brain know not much about music, the heart/body know more...

Music is a social integration of all individuals in some rythmic union with Nature... Language comes from music in this sense...

Furtwangler know that because his direction infaillibly express this eternal TEMPO flying over all smaller one beat in any musical work he ever directed...

Alain Connes Fields medal in mathematics just registered a sequence of the imprevisible beat of the creation manifested through the prime numbers distributions...

Time obey music not the reverse...Connes say studying Hilbert spaces that the source of an irrepressible flows of variations and novelty richer than time and at the source of time is this BEAT related to the prime distribution...

Why do you think american Indian and pygmys dance to call for the rain?

Superstition or higher consciousness ?

Guess what is the right answer... 😁😊

Furtwangler music call for the soul like some call for the rain, it is the same UNIVERSAL beat for the rain and the soul......

«My soul flow with the rain»-Anonymus poet

«There is only one beat for love and it is the right one each time »-Anonymus poet

«Musical discourse is infallible all around the earth, be it european or a pygmies dance , because music is God speak at the origin of language itself» -Anonymus poet

Thanks to the work in non commutative geometry of alain Connes we can guess now how music and numbers can be related to God spoken language...

thanks to pygmies or Furtwangler we can feel it without studying mathematics... 😁😊
