An evening dedicated almost entirely to the music of Richard Strauss, conducted by one of his greatest exponents, Christoph von Dohnányi.
An evening dedicated almost entirely to one of the composers most championed by Christoph von Dohnányi during his distinguished musical life: the last great German Romantic composer, Richard Strauss. The programme spans more than 60 years of Strauss’s compositional life and is framed by two sparkling miniature musical pen portraits - the flamboyant Don Juan, his first tone poem, which set the musical world on fire in 1888, and the nimble and witty Till Eulenspiegel, chronicling its eponymous hero’s ”merry pranks”. In between, a different Strauss altogether: the sublime, and deeply moving Four Last Songs; an autumnal, eloquent and deeply honest meditation on the end of life.
