Furtwängler and America
Woodhaven, N. Y. Manyland Books, Inc., ©1970. First Edition. “A study of the political problems confronting the famous German conductor, which prevented his appearance in this country after 1927. Hitherto unpublished documents from Wilhelm Furtwängler files, including a remarkable correspondence with Thomas Mann, make this book a valuable commentary on a troubled period of recent European history” (from the jacket flap). Thought outspokenly anti-Nazi, Furtwängler was accused by some critics of being a tool of the Nazi Party.
