(Leader, Jean Rennie )
Conductor, Karl Rank ]
Each of Beethoven's symphonies inhabits a world of its own, surpassing its fellows with some special characteristic: the eighth out-distances the others in grace and charm, in gaiety and humour, and in lightness of touch.
Similar qualities differentiate Strauss's
'Till Eulenspiegel ' from his other symphonic poems. This extended scherzo sets forth, with infinite. relish, the escapades and practical jokes of a German rogue of the fourteenth century. We hear him scattering the women in the market-place, preaching a mock sermon, flirting with the girls, and guying a group of learned professors. Eventually the law catches up with him, and he is tried and hanged. In the brief epilogue, Strauss casts an affectionate glance at his disreputable hero, before dismissing him with a roar of laughter. Deryck Cooke
