In his final hours, Richard Strauss is said to have remarked that dying felt exactly as he had composed it in Tod und Verklärung 60 years earlier. Simone Young conducts this magnificent tone poem alongside Zemlinsky's Lyric Symphony, inspired by the Indian Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.
This concert brings together two major works from the late Romantic tradition. Strauss's tone poem stands side by side with Alexander von Zemlinsky's Lyric Symphony, a work that inspired both Berg and Schoenberg.
