The only performance I can compare to what Barenboim conveyed in this great work would be a recording of a live performance of Schubert’s symphony given by Wilhelm ��ܰ��ٷ�ä�Բ������ and the Berlin Philharmonic shortly after the end of the World War II. ��ܰ��ٷ�ä�Բ������ seemed to be superhumanly trying to restore not just the culture but the humanity that Germany had disregarded in its horrendous war.

��ܰ��ٷ�ä�Բ������’s conducting has long been a powerful musical inspiration for Barenboim.

Karl Straube, Paul von Klenau and Wilhelm ��ܰ��ٷ�ä�Բ������ were among the international figures who heard early versions of “The Planets” played by Lasker and Day.

Klemperer, he suggests, was a different kind of conductor, neither interested in “sentimentality in music,” as his contemporary Bruno Walter had been, nor in “rhetoric and pathos,” like his rival Wilhelm ��ܰ��ٷ�ä�Բ������.

To alleviate that, he invited esteemed Gwar character/conductor Wilhelm Fartwrangler — a persona playing on the name of the very real and celebrated German conductor Wilhelm ��ܰ��ٷ�ä�Բ������ — to perform the classic track “Sex Cow” in “G-flat minor.”
