By their very nature, even the Bavarian foothills of the Alps are always good for a mountain drama, like what the young Richard Strauss experienced when he went off the path in his home garden in 1879 and got caught in a thunderstorm.
David Afkham, chief conductor of the Spanish National Orchestra, and the BOL lead into the sound massif of Strauss’ profound and musically unquestionably high Alpine tale.
Even before the break we head into the peak regions of singing and song art: With his incomparable baritone voice, Matthias Goerne is the congenial interpreter of the great lyric settings by the late romantic and Salzkammergut summer visitor Hugo Wolf.
