Composer of the Week Strauss

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

4: 1923-37. Anthony Burton introduces music from the years in which Strauss became increasingly isolated from the modernist mainstream but continued to develop his own idiom in some unexpected directions. The programme includes the rare Parergon (or supplement) to the Sinfonia Domestica specially recorded for the programme by pianist Kevin Kenner with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conductor
Andrew Davis. The programme also includes the choral scherzo Die
Gotten im Putzzimmer and music from three contrasting operas -
Intermezzo, Die Schweigsame Frau and Daphne.
Repeated next Thursday 12 midnight
