RICHARD STRAUSS
Three Tone Poems
Macbeth, after Shakespeare’s Tragedy, Op. 23
Don Juan, after Lenau, Op. 20
Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks, Op. 28
Richard Strauss wrote a total of nine tone poems — orchestral works that depict a storyline. “Don Juan” and “Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks” are among his earliest successes and became instant hits with audiences worldwide. These Cleveland Orchestra recordings were captured in September and October 2021 with live audiences in Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Concert Hall at Severance Music Center in Cleveland. All three were featured in a series of donor appreciation concerts, while “Macbeth” was also included in the season’s opening weekend, the Orchestra’s first public indoor performances since the Covid-19 shutdown in March 2020.
