Description
Individual versus religion: the Symphoniker Hamburg devotes an evening to Richard Strauss with the final song of his opera »Salome« and his »An Alpine Symphony« - with Petra Lang as Salome.
In his groundbreaking philosophical work, »The Antichrist«, Nietzsche said, »One must be skilled in living on mountains – seeing the wretched ephemeral babble beneath oneself«. Richard Strauss made an explicit reference to it in his »An Alpine Symphony«. Composed at the beginning of World War One, he did not intend it as a nature-epic but rather as a musical Antichrist. His last symphonic poem is »moral purification from its own resources«.
