About

Avalanches of brass and transcendent utterances of a man in love with the Austrian countryside dominate Bruckners Fourth Symphony, one of the composers most popular. The horn dominates, from the unforgettable opening to the Scherzo hunting scene, and one is left both elevated and inspired at the close. Richard Strauss Four Last Songs were composed at the end of his life, an unforgettably moving conclusion whose final song portrays the love of an aging couple before the setting sun, as they close their eyes and liberate their souls. A radiant testimony to life and love.
