Strauss / Frankfurt Opera House & Museums Orch- Don Juan Op. 20 - Symphony in F Minor Op. 12
Richard Strauss made an auspicious, threefold debut on 18 Oct 1885, age 21: as soloist in Mozart's Piano Concerto in c, K. 491, and as composer and conductor with his own Symphony in f, op. 12. "Symphony - splendid. His playing - like his conducting debut - simply astounding" was but one reaction. Despite this spectacular success, Strauss only achieved his definitive breakthrough as a composer with Don Juan, Op. 20 in 1888, a work revealing a completely new approach to instrumentation. These are the two works that feature on Vol. 3 of Sebastian Weigle's Richard Strauss orchestral series.
Tracklist:
- Don Juan, Op. 20, Trv 156
- I. Allegro Ma Non Troppo, Un Poco Maestoso
- Symphony No. 2 In F Minor, Op. 12, Trv 126: II. Scherzo: Presto
