'Järvis Strauss series is an important set of recordings that will hold an honoured place alongside Chandos Prokofiev and Bax cycles.'
Fanfare
This notable new compilation will be of special interest to Strauss fans for it contains some of the composer's earliest work. The charming, rarely recorded Second Symphony in F minor was premiered when the composer was just twenty and the rich and flowing Romanze in F major dates from a year earlier. It is generally acknowledged that Järvi's accounts of Richard Strauss's orchestral works rank amongst the finest available and here he works his usual magic to provide readings that have sweep, atmosphere and grandeur.
