Also sprach Zarathrustra / Don Juan / Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche

Album by Richard Strauss & London Symphony Orchestra & Jacek Kaspszyk

The release is a compilation of three orchestral tone poems by German composer Richard Strauss, composed between 1888 and 1896. These late-Romantic works feature expansive orchestration, bold harmonic language and programme-driven narratives, and they occupy a central place in Strauss's early career and in the development of orchestral colour and form at the turn of the 20th century.
