Wilhelm FurtwAngler left not only some of the greatest
interpretations of operatic and symphonic music on record, but also
expressed his views on musical issues of the moment in a number of
outspoken essays and talks. His writings range from practical
matters of performance and interpretation to aesthetic reflections
on what he saw as the alarming direction in which music was
developing in the wake of Schoenberg and the twelve-tone system of
composition. Professor Ronald Taylor has here, for the first time,
translated and annotated a selection of FurtwAngler's writings
covering the four decades from the First World War to the
conductor's death in 1954, and prefaced them with an essay on
FurtwAngler's controversial career and complicated personality. The
result is a collection of stimulating pieces with a claim on our
attention, made all the greater for reflecting the musical and
philosophical ideals of one of the great conductors of the
twentieth century.
