The dream team of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and Riccardo Chailly return with over 85 minutes of some of the greatest orchestral music ever written. Continuing the critically acclaimed Lucerne/Chailly partnership launched by the world premiere recording of Stravinsky’s Funeral Song.
On their second recording together, Riccardo Chailly and the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA perform three of Richard Strauss’s best-known tone poems: over 85 minutes of pure orchestral magic! Right at the start of Thus Spake Zarathustra, Strauss depicts a radiant sunrise. Till Eulenspiegel is a dazzling homage to the legendary mischief-maker and rogue who upends the well-ordered world of Philistines. And Death and Transfiguration offers a portrait of a type of artist “who has striven for the highest ideals” and whose soul seeks glorious perfection beyond, “in everlasting space.”
A sonically spectacular recording opening with Also sprach Zarathustra, the music made famous by 2001: A Space Odyssey.
