Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier Suite
Mariss Jansons conducts the Concertgebouworkest in the Suite from Der Rosenkavalier. In his opera Der Rosenkavalier, Richard Strauss dreamt of the world in Mozart’s time.
Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier Suite
In his opera Der Rosenkavalier, Richard Strauss dreamt of the world in Mozart’s time, a period that for him, in the years before the outbreak of the First World War, seemed angelically innocent; as a result he portrayed 18th-century Vienna with its manners and traditions, but also surprisingly with late-19th-century waltzes and an occasionally overripe hyper-Romantic orchestral sound. The immediate success of Der Rosenkavalier prompted Strauss to make an orchestral suite from its music, consisting of the prelude and several highlights.
