The Vienna Philharmonic plays Strauss and Ligeti at the Salzburg Festival

Daniel Harding conducts the Vienna Philharmonic at the Salzburg Festival in two modern classics by Ligeti and Strauss's Metamorphosen and Also sprach Zarathustra.

Daniel Harding conducts the Vienna Philharmonic at the Salzburg Festival.

Recorded last month at the Grosses Festspielhaus in Salzburg, the Vienna Philharmonic paired the ageing Strauss's moving Metamorphosen for 23 solo strings with his epic Also sprach Zarathustra. And, as a centenary hommage to Gy枚rgy Ligeti, they play two of his best-known works.
