Furtwängler comes straight from the 19th century. Son of an archaeologist specialized in ancient Greece, consciously or not, he certainly lived from the inside this mythical belief that Germany was the successor of Greece, bearer of an idealistic message, both Dionysian and Apollonian. What he gives us to hear, it is not a restored past, “historically informed“, it is the sound product of a sensitivity and a thought deeply anchored in the romantic era, in the time of Wagner, Brahms, Bruckner. The work would be an organic being whose interpreter, acting like an inspired prophet and as if in a trance, would bring out and feel the telluric forces that work it. Nothing could be more anti-modern than this idealistic conception. This is why, when one listens to a Furtwängler interpretation, one feels a different emotion.

Furtwängler a toujours été le grand protagoniste de Bruckner. En 1942, la firme Telefunken persuada Furtwängler d’expérimenter les améliorations apportées dans la technique d’enregistrement. Ayant consenti, il opta pour le célèbre Adagio de la 7ème symphonie, et plus tard pour l’Ouverture d’Alceste de Gluck, en vue de vérifier, comme il l’a dit lui-même, si les microphones étaient capables de restituer l’ampleur de son orchestre, et particulièrement les fameuses contrebasses de Berlin.
Les résultats furent étonnants. Cette interprétation de Bruckner par Furtwängler est la plus lente et pourtant la plus soutenue avec sa tension saisissante. Une fois de plus l’élément tragique et la grandeur du discours sont inégalés. C’est bien un enregistrement pour une île déserte, heureusement restauré pour la plus grande joie des mélomanes du monde, à garder et à chérir pendant toute leur vie.
Ironiquement, sa grandeur tragique n’a pas dissuadé les nazis de diffuser cette enregistrement à Radio Berlin pour annoncer la mort de Hitler, bien après que Furtwängler ait fui l’Allemagne. Contentons-nous de dire simplement qu’aucun homme, aussi grand soit-il, ou a fortiori vil, n’est digne des dimensions de cette œuvre.
