Edo de Waart conducting Strauss
A piece that I personally really enjoy', says maestro Edo de Waart about Strauss' Eine Alpensinfonie. Today he leads the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in this majestic symphonic poem. Strauss describes a day in the Alps, from shortly before sunrise until nightfall. Strauss passionately loved the landscape around Munich', says De Waart. And so all the elements of that landscape recur: from green mountain pastures to thickets. From rising mist to shining sun.
