Strauss, Richard (1864-1949)

Description:

Kempe's R. Strauss masterpieces are now available in limited edition on 180g analog LP. This set of Richard Strauss orchestral works and concertos, completed by Kempe conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden, has long been known as a masterpiece and has received numerous accolades. All of the works included in this set are masterpieces in which Kempe's lively and flexible music-making is a delight, including the lively and enjoyable "Till Eulenspiegel," "Don Juan," in which Peter Dam's horn amazes, and the masterful "Zarathustra: A Tale to Tell" in which the orchestra makes the most of the work itself to fully express its charm. The performance offers the sound of Staatskapelle Dresden in its heyday, a pleasantly enjoyable masterpiece recorded in stereo at St. Luke's Church in Dresden in the late analog period, and can be enjoyed in its original high quality sound. This is a 2-LP 180g analog set, selected from the complete collection created using newly discovered and remastered original analog masters for the single-layer SACD released in Japan at the end of 2012. Limited production run, so be sure to reserve your copy early! *Because this is an imported product, the item (including jacket, outer vinyl, outer box, case, enclosure, etc.) may have minor scratches, folds, scuffs, dents, tears, stains, crushed corners, scratches on the disc surface that do not affect playback, dirt, image differences, individual differences, etc. at the time of arrival.
