Share1. Also sprach Zarathustra
Richard Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra became famous thanks to 2001: A Space Odyssey, but there is much more to this tone poem. Inspired by Nietzsche’s book of the same name, Strauss uses orchestral forces to explore our place in the universe. Isabel Leonard sings Berlioz’s song cycle of love and longing. Samy Moussa’s Elysium depicts the Greek mythological heroes’ final resting place. Kevin John Edusei conducts.

2. Joshua Bell, Dvořák & Tchaikovsky’s Fourth
Joshua Bell is the soloist in Dvořák’s Violin Concerto, alive with elements of Czech folk music, especially in its dancing finale. On the second half of the program, Tchaikovsky grapples with fate in the dramatic contrasts of his Fourth Symphony. Daniele Rustioni — praised for his “immaculate sense of pace, tension, and drama” (The Guardian) — conducts in his NY Phil debut.

Lorin Maazel (who later served as Music Director of the NY Phil) produced this 75-minute version of orchestral music from Wagner’s great epic — all in the original order and without adding a single note of his own.
