Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London. Featuring concert works drawn from two late Strauss operas, both based on Greek myths. Die Liebe de Danaewas not performed until after Strauss's death, and tonight's ravishing symphonic fragment was arranged from the final pages of the opera score by the conductor of its 1952 premier, Clemens Krauss. An den Baum Daphne is a "pendant" to Strauss's opera Daphne, composed some years after its 1938 first performance for mixed chorus and boys' voices. Plus excerpts from Der Rosenkavalier selected by conductor Charles Mackerras. Presented by Penny Gore.
