Also Sprach Zarathustra / Don Juan / Tod und Verklärung

Album by Richard Strauss & Wiener Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

This compilation of orchestral tone poems by Richard Strauss collects works composed between 1888 and 1896. The pieces exemplify late-Romantic orchestration with expansive brass and string textures, bold dynamic contrasts and programme-driven structures, marking Strauss's development toward a broader orchestral vocabulary that influenced early 20th-century symphonic writing.
First released: 1987
