Richard Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra – Jansons/BRSO(2007Live)
As proud Zarathushtris:
This is YouTube of Richard Strauss’s symphonic tone poem Thus Spake Zarathustra played by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (Munich) conducted by Mariss Jansen.
This tone poem by Richard Strauss is based on Nietzsche’s great work Also Sprach Zarathustra. Nietzsche, that great German philosopher realized that Zarathustra was the first human who saw in the working of the Universe a great conflict between good and evil.
This YouTube I find excellent recording and superb camera shots that capture the musicians and conductor at the right moments, surely the work of a musician and film editor who understands this work………….a real pleasure to watch for 35 minutes.

A veritable treat. a symphonic poem and my favourite along with Beethoven’s 9th symphony. (Ode to Joy) and Mozart’s Ein Klien Nacht Musik.
