Strauss Masterpieces
National Philharmonic
Thomas Pandolfi, piano National Philharmonic Chorale Piotr Gajewski, conductor On the 150th anniversary of the birth of Strauss, enjoy exploring four of his masterpieces. Don Juan, a tone poem for large orchestra, features impassioned love themes reflecting the romance Strauss was experiencing with his future wife. Written when Strauss was 21, the Burlesque for piano and orchestra, brilliantly virtuosic and fiendishly difficult, is a burst of youthful exhilaration, full of confident high spirits and vitality. Strauss’s Wanderers Sturmlied, written in 1884, for male chorus and orchestra, was influenced by the Romantic composer Brahms. Death and Transfiguration, a tone poem for large orchestra, completed in 1889, depicts a dying artist as he reflects on his innocent childhood, the struggles and successes of his adulthood and finally, his longed-for transfiguration.
