Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Strauss: An Alpine Symphony [CD] [New CD]

Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra reach new musical peaks with An Alpine Symphony, one of the most spectacular scores ever written for orchestra. This monumental fresco, inspired by the Bavarian Alps Strauss loved so greatly, is the very summit of symphonic poems: a fascinating album of images in which nature stands as a metaphor for existence itself.
