Also sprach Zarathustra

Album by Richard Strauss & Wiener Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Also sprach Zarathustra is a tone poem by German composer Richard Strauss, composed in 1896. It employs expansive late-Romantic orchestration with prominent brass and organ sonorities and sweeping chromatic harmonies to evoke its philosophical programme, and it stands as a key example of Strauss's tone-poem output and fin-de-siècle orchestral writing.
First released: 1991
