Actually, there is plenty of good-sounding Furtwaengler material.DG issued at least two box sets of wartime Magnetophon tapes which, with the exception of some overload and blasting in the climaxes, is very modern-sounding, albeit mono. There is a 1954 VPO "Moldau" that captures some of the finest orchestral playing on record (and a majesterial interpretation) quite vividly, in a first-class CD transfer.
Hear it and be mesmerized.
