Tone Poems in Full Score, Series II: Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche, also Sprach Zarathustra and Ein Heldenleben Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Richard Strauss was in many ways the epitome of the late romatic composer, and perhaps the only true musical descendant of Richard Wagner.His tone poems, like any great piece of music, are like a whole seperate world.
The tone poems in this volume are three of his most popular. The escapades of Til Eulenspiegel, the familiar opening of Also Sprach Zarathustra (and the less familiar final bars that can't make up their mind what key to close in), and the 'heroic' Ein Heldenleben reveal Strauss at his most complex, lyrical, bombastic and egotistical.True masterworks worth repeated hearings.
The complexity of these scores is astounding.But with a little patience and experience, following along with the score can reveal many inner beauties of this music that is well worth the effort.
No complaints with Dover's edition.Large format, clearly printed, and economical.How does Dover do it?Recommended!
