Menuhin was the first major artist to come to the support of Furtwängler after World War II. When American musicians opposed Furtwängler's visit to the United States, Menuhin was his major advocate. As soon as Furtwängler was allowed to perform publicly, Menuhin joined him for concerts in Lucerne and Berlin in 1947. As a Jew, Menuhin's decision to perform with Furtwängler was both courageous and startling. Both men shared, as Menuhin suggests, a naïveté about the power of music in the face of passionate political divisions. "Furtwängler's fault, like my own perhaps, was to overestimate the power of music."

Menuhin's own inwardness and sense of spirituality made him a perfect soloist for the questing, visionary Furtwängler. As Menuhin puts it in his autobiography, reflecting on his 1947 concerts with Furtwängler: "to play the greatest German music with the greatest of German conductors was an experience of almost religious intensity." This special intensity and spiritual aura can be found in all the Menuhin/Furtwängler recordings.

Menuhin recorded the Beethoven concerto with Furtwängler twice, once in 1947 in conjunction with his first performances with Furtwängler and again in London in 1953.

The 1947 recording, produced by Walter Legge with Douglas Larter as engineer, was the first official recording by Furtwängler after the war. Because of the 1953 LP version, this recording had a relatively short life on 78s and was first issued on LP only in 1970 in Japan. The most available LP version of the 1947 performance has been Pathé Marconi 2C 051-01570 in the Référence series. The 1947 version is both more intimate and more incisive than the wonderful 1953 performance. The range of expression is greater and more varied. While the overall tempos are quicker than in 1953, the inward moments as in the slow movement are slower and more contemplative. The last movement is more dance-like than the 1953. As happens so often in a Furtwängler performance, the music is an immense journey and Menuhin is the ideal pilgrim
