Wilhelm Furtwängler

Wilhelm Furtwängler, a renowned German conductor and pianist, was born on January 25, 1886, in the vibrant city of Berlin, Germany, a hub of artistic and cultural expression. His illustrious career spanned numerous decades, during which he made significant contributions to the world of classical music. Furtwängler is perhaps best known for his work on several notable film scores, including Ludwig - Requiem for a Virgin King (1972),A Dream, What Else? (1995),and Les passagers (1999). His personal life was marked by two marriages, first to the lovely Elisabeth Ackermann and later to Zitla Lund. Tragically, Furtwängler's life came to a close on November 30, 1954, in the charming town of Baden-Baden, located in the southwestern region of Baden-Württemberg, West Germany.
