Please submit sites dealing with the life or music of Wilhelm Furtwängler, including biographies, discographies, analyses of compositions, or bibliographies.

German conductor and composer Gustav Heinrich Ernst Martin Wilhelm Furtwängler (1886-1954) enjoyed fame prior to World War Two. However, his remaining in Germany caused many to brand him as a Nazi, a Nazi-sympathizer, or as an anti-Semite. Post-war evidence points to the contrary, but his damaged reputation was not restored prior to his death.
