Salome

Album by Richard Strauss & Susan Bullock & Sally Burgess & John Graham Hall & John Wegner & Philharmonia Orchestra & Charles Mackerras

Salome is a one-act opera by the German composer Richard Strauss, premiered in 1905. The score employs late-Romantic harmonic language with intense chromaticism, expansive orchestration and declamatory vocal writing, and it marks a pivotal step in Strauss's move towards more expressionistic and modernist techniques in his career.
