Summary
The following is not in any sense a discography of Furtwängler recordings. For a full listing see Rene Tremine, Wilhelm Furtwängler: A Discography (Bezons: Tahra Productions, 1997). Below are listed selected audio CD and DVD sources associated with documents and historical events discussed above. Recordings are conducted by Furtwängler unless otherwise stated. Most are now widely available. They are regularly reissued in various formats and can usually be traced without difficulty via an Internet search. Only dates are therefore given below.
