Letzte Ausfahrt Fhrung

For the first time ever, Richard Strauss’ songs can be heard in an arranged version for choir or choir and violin. Compiled from different opuses, including Vier letzte Lieder op. 150, the KammerChor Saarbrücken and their conductor Georg Grün present several famous songs in a new guise. Franz Zimnol’s and Clytus Gottwald’s transcriptions approach Strauss’ compositions in different ways, all of them providing new listening impressions as well as perspectives on the original.

For me, Strauss is one of the greatest composers," Diana Damrau has said. "The way he handles the soprano voice is a joy. And to be able to sing his music with my voice feels like coming home." The centrepiece of this album of Strauss songs is the sublime Vier letzte Lieder, in which Damrau - born and trained in Bavaria - joins forces with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and it's long-standing Chief Conductor Mariss Jansons. Her partner in a tempting and diverse selection of songs with piano is Helmut Deutsch. "Not only is Strauss's music gorgeous," says Damrau, "there's the way he combines words and notes - and the psychology.
