With this sequel to his recent series on European Thought and Culture in the 19th Century, Professor Lloyd Kramer introduces the major intellectual themes and debates that decisively shaped 20th-century European culture and which still define our world today. An award-winning teacher at The University of North Carolina, Professor Kramer's approach is incisive, balanced, and scrupulously fair. They are traits essential to these lectures, which range over an amazingly wide array of thinkers and writers, the key historical circumstances and challenges they faced, and the fascinating and subtle ways in which their works relate to one another and to the larger story of modern European culture.
Rudolf Kempe’s recordings of Richard Strauss have long been prized for their unparalleled clarity and subtlety in music that has come to define the late-Romantic temperament and its expression of highly strung emotions, whether in a state of Nietzschean exaltation, on the summits of Also sprach Zarathustra and the Alpine Symphony, or in the post-war despair of Metamorphosen. Even in his lighter moods, such as the early and carefree Aus Italien and the late concertos for wind instruments, Strauss loves the complex textures that Kempe and the Staatskapelle Dresden clarify with the utmost skill and sympathy. A classic set, remastered from the original East German master tapes.
