Richard Strauss - Karajan, Berliner Philharmoniker - Eine Alpensinfonie (An Alpine Symphony) album flac

An Alpine Symphony (Eine Alpensinfonie), Op. 64, is a tone poem for a very large orchestra written by German composer Richard Strauss in 1915. It is one of Strauss's largest non-operatic works; the score calls for about 125 players and a typical performance usually lasts around 50 minutes. The program of An Alpine Symphony depicts the experiences of eleven hours (from daybreak just before dawn to the following nightfall) spent climbing an Alpine mountain.

Strauss elevates the ostensibly naive, inner action of the Alpine Symphony, probably based originally on an alpine experience from the composer’s youth, through his highly virtuoso orchestration, which involves the forces of around 130 musicians, and a refined network of motivic references. This compositional mastery would hardly be conceivable without Franz Schubert as a model.

Richard Strauss’s Alpine Symphony is closely connected with the Berliner Philharmoniker and its famous artistic director, the -afficianado Herbert von Karajan. In 1981, their version of Strauss’s symphonic poem became one of the first works ever recorded on CD, and was then filmed two years later by Karajan's production company Telemondial

One of Karajan’s favourite compositions was heard during this concert from October 2008 – Richard Strauss’s Alpine Symphony, which Karajan conducted with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 1982; it was the first commercial CD release, with a legendary recording of the work. The choice of this tone poem for the new digital medium is not surprising, since the instrumental virtuosity and wealth of harmonic colours in Strauss’s last symphonic poem demand the utmost of every orchestra
