Vier letzte Lieder

Album by Richard Strauss & Elisabeth Schwarzkopf & George Szell & Deutsches Symphonie‐Orchester Berlin

Vier letzte Lieder is a song cycle by the German composer Richard Strauss, completed in 1948. Characterised by late-Romantic harmonies, expansive melodic lines and lush orchestration for soprano and orchestra, the work occupies a significant place as one of Strauss's final major compositions and reflects his late-career preoccupation with themes of farewell and transience.
