The Bayreuth and Lucerne 9ths - not to mention the understandably insane one from 1942 - get more mentions, but this VPO performance seems to have everything: superb playing and singing and profundity mixed with joy. Thanks for sharing. A full 1951 Vienna performance is also on RUclips.

Legendary and astonishing 4th movement.
Sincere tributes in memory of the legend on his 66th death anniversary today.
Großartig !
Besten Dank für diesen Genuß
Wow! The best I've heard so far.
Then you haven't heard Furtwangler 1942.
ええ音ですやん！演奏も劇的。
確かにベルリンフィルの戦時下の演奏と比べると遅いが
弦バスの音質が鮮明に聴こえるところがいい。
2年後の5月の演奏よりも冴えてる気がする。
ただ全合唱になると歪むのが残念。。。男性高音域合唱が少しマイクから遠い様にも思える。
でも最後に拍手が入っているとこは嬉しい(^0^)
