Edition Staatskapelle Dresden, Vol. 44: Richard Strauss / Thielemann, Langhein
The way Richard Strauss spoke of his âbeloved Dresdenersâ rang of Bavarian humor blended with a subtle touch of mischievous irony and, first and foremost, a good dose of respect and appreciation. Home to the Königliche musikalische Kapelle (âRoyal Musical Ensembleâ) and the Court Opera, Dresden soon became a center of Straussâs music; many of his works were given their premiere there. Ernst von Schuch, Straussâs âmost loyal conductor of choiceâ, was a key figure: at the symphony concerts given by the Kapelle, the Dresden General Music Director soon acquainted audiences with all of Straussâs tone poems, from Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche through Also sprach Zarathustra to Sinfonia domestica. Strauss enthused that, years later, it was âthe brilliant Schuchâs untiring magic wandâ that eventually opened the series of âexemplary premieresâ of his operas in Dresden. Works including Salome, Elektra and Der Rosenkavalier made Strauss the leading musical dramatist of his time. He had no fewer than nine operas premiered in Dresden, his âEldorado for premieresâ, and dedicated the Alpine Symphony to the Dresden Kapelle as a token of his gratitude. The present release is the 44th volume in the Staatskapelle Dresdenâs exploration of Straussâs work, and includes, most notably, his Konzert fur Horn und Orchester op. 11.
