Also sprach Zarathustra

Album by Richard Strauss & Berliner Philharmoniker & Karl Böhm

Also sprach Zarathustra is a tone poem by German composer Richard Strauss, composed in 1896. The work exemplifies late-Romantic orchestral writing, employing large orchestral forces and prominent brass and organ sonorities alongside thematic transformation, and it occupies a pivotal position in Strauss's career as he developed his approach to programme music and orchestral colour.
