STRAUSS, R: 12 ORCHESTRAL SONGS; TOD UND VERKLARUNG - JERUSALEM, GEWANDHAUS LEIPZIG, MASUR, CONCERTGEBOUW, HAITINK

Lovers of Richard Strauss’ music have long considered the Jerusalem disc of orchestral songs a ‘must-have’ in their collection. They are sheerly glorious – as is the ‘heldentenor’ of Siegfried Jerusalem. They are now reissued with Haitink’s searing account of ‘Death and Transfiguration’.
