Sinfoniekonzert des Oldenburgischen Staatstheaters

In the organizer's words:

Richard Strauss (1864 - 1949) 'Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks'. After the old rogue's manner - in rondo form - set for large orchestra op. 28 'Don Juan'. Tone poem (after Nikolaus Lenau) op. 20 'Also sprach Zarathustra'. Tone poem (freely adapted from Friedrich Nietzsche) op. 30

Richard Strauss, master of orchestration - through him the genre of the symphonic poem has become 'capable of action'. His programmatic works can be experienced as 'music drama without words', as epic scenes. As Strauss freely admitted in 1905: 'For me, the poetic program is also nothing more than the form-forming occasion for the expression and purely musical development of my feelings; not, as you believe, merely a musical description of certain processes of life.
