Rudolf Kempe - R. Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra/ Till Eulenspiegel/ Don Jua

Rudolf Kempe — R. Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra/ Till Eulenspiegel/ Don Jua

180-gram gatefold double LP

Rudolf Kempe's recordings of Richard Strauss have long been prized for their unparalleled clarity and subtlety in music that has come to define the late-Romantic temperament and its expression of highly strung emotions, whether in a state of Nietzschean exaltation, on the summits of "Also sprach Zarathustra" or in the post-war despair of "Metamorphosen." Strauss loves the complex textures that Kempe and the Staatskapelle Dresden clarify with the utmost skill and sympathy.
