Also sprach Zarathustra

Album by Richard Strauss & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Fritz Reiner

Also sprach Zarathustra is a tone poem by German composer Richard Strauss, composed in 1896. The orchestral work, inspired by Nietzsche's philosophical novel, employs large late-Romantic forces with prominent brass and chromatic harmonies to convey episodic, programme-driven scenes and marked a pivotal moment in Strauss's development as a composer of expansive narrative orchestral works.
First released: 16th December 2003
