In 1945, 1,500 magnetic recordings, found in the Berlin House of Radio Broadcasting at the Mazurenallee, and the corresponding equipment for their reproduction and translation into gramophone matrices were exported to the USSR.
The recordings were considered lost until in 1957 the Aprelevka Record Plant released a disc with Schubert's 7th Symphony performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Furtwängler. The label read: "Archival recording. From the concert hall." It was taken in December 1942 in Berlin. The disc made a splash in the music world. Later, many other recordings of Furtwängler during the war were published in the USSR. The sound engineers-restorers have done jewelry work with these phonograms.
In 1990, the Soviet Union returned the recordings to Germany.
Returned recordings Deutsche Grammophon released an album of 20 discs.
