Eminent conductors are not always noted for the generousity in assessing the powers of their colleagues, but it is interesting to hear what Wilhelm Furtwängler said [...]
And his comment "It cannot be performed better than that ! " was made after he had attended a performance of the Beethoven's Fifth conducted by Schuricht.

Mr. Hunt kindly mentioned to me that this remark was reported to him by Mrs. Elisabeth Furtwängler, who resides in Switzerland.
