Background: In 1951 Wilhelm Furtwängler demonstrated his inspired approach to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony twice, within a matter of only a few weeks: at the Salzburg Festival (Orfeo C533001B) and to reopen the first post-war Bayreuth Festival. For a long time, the latter legendary performance, broadcast live was believed lost. It is now issued by Orfeo in a carefully restored pressing.This was only the second time that Beethoven's Ninth Symphony had been performed in the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, the first being the foundation-stone-laying ceremony under Wagner's own direction in 1872, so this 1951 performance was like a rebirth of the Festival myth. A musical high point of post-war history.
