CD RICHARD STRAUSS

Description

French violinist Renaud Capuçon presents a 3CD album featuring works by Richard Strauss that have been pivotal in his artistic journey. The collection includes newly recorded lesser-known pieces such as the Violin Concerto, Violin Sonata, Piano Quartet, and Daphne-Etude, alongside live recordings from the past, including Metamorphosen and Capriccio with a string ensemble. The highlight is a 2000 performance of Ein Heldenleben conducted by Seiji Ozawa with the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, where a young Capuçon excels in the demanding concertmaster role. This album is a must-have for classical music enthusiasts and admirers of Strauss's work.
