The Members of the german Wilhelm-Furtwängler-Society welcome you on this site!
The German Wilhelm-Furtwängler-Society was founded in 1976 in Berlin.
Its initial goal was to make Wilhelm Furtwängler’s mostly unpublished concert recordings accessible to the Society’s members.
In 2001 the Furtwängler-Society celebrated its 25-year anniversary with a concert in the Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz in Berlin.
In 2002 the Furtwängler-Society released for the first time a CD-recording featuring a work composed by Furtwängler himself: His Third Symphony in the commemorative concert by the Berlin Philharmonic in 1956, conducted by Joseph Keilberth. Further releases will follow.
Societies dedicated to Furtwängler’s life and work exist since 1976 in England and in France, followed by further societies in other countries.
Currently the German Furtwängler-Society has direct relations with the societies in France, England and Japan.
