Also sprach Zarathustra

Album by Richard Strauss & Rundfunk‐Sinfonieorchester Berlin & Vladimir Mikhailovich Jurowski

Also sprach Zarathustra is a tone poem by German composer Richard Strauss, composed and premiered in 1896. The work employs expansive orchestration, recurring thematic transformations and bold harmonic language to explore philosophical ideas inspired by Nietzsche, marking a turning point in Strauss's output as he pursued large-scale programmatic orchestral works that expanded late-Romantic colour.
