R. Strauss: Operatic Orchestral Music / Tate
Label: WARNER CLASSICS Catalog: 2564636544 Format: CD TATE ROTTERDAM PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRARichard Strauss, who focused his genius mainly on opera and the tone poem, has the reputation as the last great Romantic and the last great story-teller in music history. With this selection of orchestral music from Strauss operas, Jeffrey Tate combines both sides – from the famous sextet from Capriccio, to a fantasia from Die Frau ohne Schatten, to a discovery from the composer's early period: the prelude to his first opera, Guntram, which remains a rarity to this day. |
