5: 1939-49. Anthony Burton introduces music from the final years of Strauss's life. The programme includes the waltz Munchen, written as a cheerful tribute to his home city but later revised as a postwar memorial; music for string sextet from his last opera, Capriccio, and for wind ensemble from the symphony subtitled Happy
Workshop; and a conjectural set of five last orchestral songs performed by Felicity Lott , combining the familiar Four Last Songs with an orchestration made at the same time of the early Ruhe, Meine Seele. Repeated next Friday 12 midnight
