Recording of the Week, Works by Richard Strauss from Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra

6th September 2019

Riccardo Chailly conducts the Lucerne Festival Orchestra in thrillingly-detailed and impassioned performances of four orchestral works by Richard Strauss.

The dream team of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and Riccardo Chailly return with over 85 minutes of some of the greatest orchestral music ever written.

Sonically spectacular recording opening with Also sprach Zarathustra: the music made famous by 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Continuing the critically-acclaimed Lucerne/Chailly partnership launched by the world premiere recording of Stravinsky’s Funeral Song.

Reviews

December 2019

Interpretatively, it’s Riccardo Chailly business as usual: exemplary textures…but not as much forward movement or flying through the air as there should be.

January/February 2020

the program is carried by a superb Death and Transfiguration and an intriguing Also sprach Zarathustra. Orchestral playing is virtuosic, if controlled, throughout, and everything has been captured in vivid, detailed recorded sound. Warmly recommended.

November 2019

The playing, predictably, is stunningly good, the performances superbly taut, concentrated and responsive. Till Eulenspiegel perhaps comes off best of all: rarely has the work sounded so dazzlingly fresh and brilliant. The strings have a razor-like sharpness, the brass real bite...The humour, meanwhile, comes off all the more vividly for Chailly’s straight-man direction.
