Strauss with Asmik Grigorian and Gustavo Dudamel - Salzburg Festival 2024 (2024x24)
Air date: Aug 25, 2024
With its 150-strong orchestra, including a brass band and a number of unusual instruments, the Alpine Symphony is undoubtedly one of the highlights of Richard Strauss's orchestral output. After the dress rehearsal, the composer, a great admirer of Berlioz's Traité d'instrumentation, was quoted as saying that he had finally mastered the art. A superlative concert in Salzburg.
