Day trip to the Alps
Fancy a day exploring the Alps? In his Alpine Symphony, Richard Strauss may only be taking us there in spirit, but it is an incredibly realistic experience – complete with cow bells, wind (machine) and thunder (sheet). However, for chief conductor Alan Gilbert, the colossal orchestral work, with which the Bavarian composer literally reached the peak of his symphonic achievement, is not only an example of Strauss’s formidable command of instrumentation, but also a call, in this age of climate change, to become more aware of the beauty of nature and landscape that is depicted so impressively here.
