Furtwangler Beethoven

conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler & Beethoven?
Is anyone familiar with Furtwangler? bio, etc?
I have some Beethoven symphonies conducted by F. but am interested in knowing more about the man and his music!
Furtwangler was a genius and one of my very favourite conductors.
I think his final 1954 Lucerne Festival recording with the Philharmonia of Beethoven's 9th is quite possibly the greatest ever put to disc (available on the 'Tahra' label, also 'Music & Arts' I think).
Ha ha, I admit I am very biased, I've got quite a number of his recordings.
