A superb collection of some of the greatest
performances of Richard Strauss's orchestral,
operatic, chamber and vocal works, brought
together in a stunning 35-CD edition of
fantastic value. The collection begins
with a survey of Strauss's orchestral music, including the supremely popular symphonic poems - Don Juan, Don Quixote, Also sprach Zarathustra, Till Eulenspiegel, Tod und Verklärung, Eine Alpensinfonie and Ein Heldenleben are included, together with comparatively rare orchestral works such as the wonderful Burlesque for piano and orchestra. These recordings, performed by the Staatskapelle Dresden and conducted by Rudolf Kempe, are a particular highlight of this box set,
some of the greatest recordings of the
classical catalogue. Alongside an extensive survey of Strauss's chamber music, performed by major international instrumentalists including Wolfgang Sawallisch (piano), Erno Sebestyen (violin), Wenn-Sinn Yang (cello) and the Sinnoffer Quartet, some of the definitive performances of Strauss's best-loved operas are also featured. In particular, Herbert von Karajan's Der Rosenkavalier remains unsurpassed. This comprehensive box set concludes with 3 CDs of Lieder, including the enduringly popular Vier letzte Lieder sung by
Charlotte Margiono and a disc of historical
recordings accompanied by Richard
Strauss on piano.
