Philadelphia Orchestra - Richard Strauss

The Philadelphia Orchestra always had strong links with Richard Strauss’ music, perhaps because during his 1904 tour in the United States the composer himself took the baton to conduct his own works, making him the very first international figure of music to perform with the then very young orchestra. This album includes various major works conducted by André Previn or Wolfgang Sawallisch, his long-time musical director. Also includes lieder sung by Barbara Hendricks!
