'This is as good a recording of Aus Italien as any. The sound is sumptuous… Metamorphosen sounds beautiful here.'
American Record Guide
'…well served here by Järvi and his fine Scottish Orchestra…'
Classic FM Magazine
This is the third volume in Chandos' series of Strauss's symphonic poems. This substantial survey, in highly regarded performances, is available on the Chandos' midprice Classics label.
These two works date from opposite ends of Strauss's compositional career: Aus Italien was written when the composer was just twenty-two; Metamorphosen, one of the greatest works of the twentieth century, completed when the composer was eighty.
These recordings of some of Strauss's most important works were enthusiastically reviewed for the quality of sound and interpretation when they were first released.
Järvi and the Scottish National Orchestra recordings of Richard Strauss's music were considered by many to be top choice for the repertoire.
