More details

Decades after his death, Richard Strauss enjoyed a posthumous comeback thanks to his searing and cerebral tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra. The indelible opening trumpet fanfare is instantly recognizable from its use in films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Barbie. Equally colorful works by Hector Berlioz and Claude Debussy add Gallic flair before the program hurtles to its heart-racing conclusion with John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine
