David Zinman Conducts Strauss

David Zinman, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich

David Zinman, one of today’s most versatile and enterprising conductors, renowned for his interpretations of Beethoven and the music of his American compatriots, has recorded the major works of Richard Strauss with his venerable Swiss orchestra. These excellent performances are reissued here in a single box. ClassicsToday: “There’s much to savor over the course of these seven discs … Zinman’s clear-headed, intelligent interpretations are well worth getting to know.” MusicWeb International: “Zinman has the measure of the scope and scale” of Strauss’s music. “Throughout the project there is no question that the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra play particularly well, while the Arte Nova engineers have produced an atmospheric acoustic and a suitably opulent sound quality … Undoubtedly a major collection.”CD 1Aus Italien op. 16Macbeth op. 23​​​​​​​CD 2Ein Heldenleben op. 40Tod und Verklärung op. 24CD3Don Juan op. 20Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche op. 28Also sprach Zarathustra op. 30CD 4Eine Alpensinfonie op. 64Festliches Präludium op. 61CD 5Metamorphosen TrV 290Vier letzte Lieder TrV 296Melanie Diener sopranoConcerto for Oboe and Small Orchestrain D major TrV 292Simon Fuchs oboeCD 6Symphonia domestica op. 53Parergon op. 73Roland Pöntinen pianoCD 7Don Quixote op. 35Thomas Grossenbacher cello · Michel Rouilly violaRomanze in F major TrV 118Thomas Grossenbacher celloSerenade in E-flat major op. 7
