SOMM’s Beecham Collection of Live Performances acquires yet another gem with this unique Beecham/ Furtwängler release which will be available in December. The disc contains works from two concerts which the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler was to have conducted at the Royal Festival Hall in January 1955. Sadly he died in November 1954 and Sir Thomas willingly undertook to conduct these with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in memory of their friendship and as an affectionate tribute to the great conductor.
