Four Last Songs

Album by Richard Strauss & Rachel Willis-Sørensen & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Andris Nelsons

Four Last Songs is a song cycle for soprano and orchestra by the German composer Richard Strauss, composed in 1948. Musically it blends late-Romantic orchestration and expansive melodic writing with reflective, autumnal moods, and it represents Strauss's final completed works, marking the culmination of his career in German art song and orchestral composition.
