Four Last Songs

Album by Richard Strauss & Kiri Te Kanawa & Sir Andrew Davis & London Symphony Orchestra

Four Last Songs is a song cycle by German composer Richard Strauss, composed in 1948 and first performed posthumously in 1950. Scored for soprano and large orchestra, it showcases Strauss's late-Romantic harmonic language and lush orchestration with meditations on mortality and transcendence, and it stands as one of the final vocal-orchestral works of his career.
