R. STRAUSS Macbeth
R. STRAUSS Don Juan
R. STRAUSS Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks
A celebration of three early tone poems by Richard Strauss, this album reaffirms Franz Welser-Möst's reputation as a world-renowned conductor of Strauss. According to Welser-Möst, in these three pieces Strauss “looks at the exuberance and weight of unbridled passion (Don Juan), at the consuming fire of ambition (Macbeth), and at the delightful tricks and slight-of-hand that humans, almost alone among earth’s living creatures, understand and thrive upon as humor (Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks).”
Recorded live in Mandel Concert Hall in September and October 2021.
