Wilhelm Furtwängler (1886-1954), German conductor, whose interpretations of the German repertoire won him wide admiration. Born in Berlin and privately educated, he studied for many years during his career with the influential German theorist Heinrich Schenker, analyzing musical scores. Furtwängler's principal conducting post was as director of the Berlin Philharmonic, where he became known for his forceful, expressive approach and for developing the orchestra's rich string sound. Although he remained in Germany through most of World War II, he opposed the Nazi regime and was exonerated of charges of collaboration. After the war he resumed an international career.
