Robin Ticciati, DSO Berlin & Louise Alder - Strauss - WDR 3
Interpretation 5*
Repertoire 5*
Sound 5*
Rarely does one hear the music of Richard Strauss, which always tends a little towards opulence, seduction and also pathos and kitsch, so clearly, so fluent, so natural and balanced. One is not steamrolled or overwhelmed here, but rather taken along quite naturally into this world of sound.
