Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra

Philharmonia Orchestra
conductor Lorin Maazel

For the 150th anniversary celebrations of Richard Strauss this year, the world-renowned conductor Lorin Maazel returns to London to conduct the Philharmonia in two orchestral masterpieces.
The Alpine Symphony recounts a mountain scene in detail from dawn to nightfall, imaginatively using an orchestra of over 150 players. Strauss's resonant opening to Also sprach Zarathustra may be best known thanks to Stanley Kubrick, but it is still an arresting start to a piece with searches for answers to Nietzsche's questions about God, humankind and our existence.
