R. STRAUSS: Also Sprach Z.; Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks; Don Juan – Berlin Philharmonic Orch./ Gustavo Dudamel – DGG
A standard Richard Strauss symphonic-poem package, impressively mounted and recorded in gorgeous sound and production values to sell its charismatic conductor.
* R. STRAUSS: Eine Alpensinfonie; Symphonic Fantasy from “Die Frau ohne Schatten” – Sao Paulo Sym. Orch./ Frank Shipway – BIS
************ MULTICHANNEL DISC OF THE MONTH ***********
Explosive sound and a richly vibrant interpretation make this the best SACD version available.
R. STRAUSS: Also Sprach Zarathustra; Burleske in D Minor for Piano and Orch. – Byron Janis, p./ Chicago Sym. Orch./ Fritz Reiner – HDTT
The 1962 Reiner Zarathustra still dazzles and thrills, especially in its new HDTT incarnation; and the Janis Burleske gives us 20 minutes of explosive dynamite.
