About
The Wilhelm Furtwängler Society of China (WFSC) was established on 22 February 2021 under the authorization of Andreas Furtwängler, the son of the maestro. The society does not implement the traditional paid membership system and has grown to have hundreds of active members. As a non-profit organization, its main mission is to collect valuable and high-quality recordings of Furtwängler and related musicians, digitize and, after making maximum efforts for restoration, release them in high-quality formats such as CDs and Hi-Res files, and on streaming media, along with booklets with extensive original content. The income generated is solely used to sustain the basic operations of the society and public music-related activities. Additionally, the society organises and translates Furtwängler-related literature, to enable more people to learn and appreciate the maestro’s conducting artistry in various forms.
