„Also sprach Zarathustra“. From the symphonic poems that brought Richard Strauss worldwide fame in the 1880s and 1890s and his florid operas from the first decade of the 20th century to the resigned metamorphoses in his final masterpieces after the Second World War: In this Mahler-free year of 2012, Mariss Jansons is now seizing the opportunity to pay tribute to the other big name from the orchestra’s early history.
