UPSTREAMING

by Richard Strauss

One of the most revered Romantic composers of the late 19th and early 20th century, Richard Strauss’s symphonic poems and operas remain an indispensable feature of the standard repertoire. This program—which includes the operatic rarity Die Liebe der Danae (The Love of Danae) from the 2011 Bard SummerScape along with various symphonic and choral works—explores the composer’s substantial melodic gifts and his mastery of instrumentation and expression.

Featuring:

2011 Bard SummerScape Opera: Die Liebe der Danae
Tea Time Talk: an intimate and lively conversation between Maestro Leon Botstein and renowned architect (and set designer for the Bard SummerScape production of Die Liebe der Danae) Rafael Viñoly.
Playlist: A selection of Richard Strauss recordings from the American Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Leon Botstein.
