'Now it seems conductors copy a recording they have learned from and pass it off as something original!' This is an interesting comment. In the film Taking Sides, about Furtwangler's post-WWII trial, Daniel Barenboim conducts a performance for the soundtrack of the opening movement of Beethoven's Fifth with exact regard to Furtwangler's tempi, dynamics and so on. The reality is that however close Barenboim is to Furtwangler's own performance in basic terms, his performance simply lacks the life force that Furtwangler brought to his own recording. Furtwangler is simply inimitable and it is this which makes him so fine an interpreter. His music-making goes beyond the notes when many are too content to simply play them.
