Also sprach Zarathustra from Strauss
Hear how the first movement of Mahler’s unfinished Symphony No. 10 lands on a chord of terrifying dissonance, breaking all the rules of composition. Find out which musical treasures are concealed behind the now legendary opening movement – with the famous apocalyptic kettledrum solo – of Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra and listen with bated breath to his stupendous song Morgen. Enjoy Berg’s talent for combining the genius of all these composers in his Seven Early Songs with the lessons he learned from his mentor Schönberg. And above all, admire Carlo Rizzi’s perceptive interpretations and the widely- praised voice of Belgian soprano Katrien Baerts.
