Also sprach Zarathustra

Album by Richard Strauss & Philharmonia Orchestra & Georges Prêtre

Also sprach Zarathustra is a tone poem by German composer Richard Strauss, composed and first performed in 1896. The late-Romantic orchestral work features expansive orchestration with prominent brass and percussion writing and contrasting lyrical passages that explore philosophical themes, and it marks a key example of Strauss's mature approach to large-scale orchestral tone poems.
