Richard Strauss, Eugene Ormandy, The Philadelphia Orchestra - Also Sprach Zarathustra
Review by Gianluigi Cogo
The album Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, Eugene Ormandy, and The Philadelphia Orchestra is a magnificent showcase of the composer's genius. The album features a stunning performance of the titular piece, which is perhaps Strauss's most famous work.
The opening fanfare of Also Sprach Zarathustra is instantly recognizable, thanks to its use in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey. However, the piece is much more than just a famous movie score. It is a grand and majestic work that showcases Strauss's mastery of orchestration and his ability to create sweeping, epic music.
The performance on this album is top-notch, with Eugene Ormandy and The Philadelphia Orchestra delivering a powerful and dynamic rendition of the piece. The orchestra's playing is precise and energetic, capturing the full force of the music.
In addition to Also Sprach Zarathustra, the album also includes several other works by Strauss, including Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks. These pieces are also given excellent performances by Ormandy and the orchestra, making the album a must-have for any fan of Strauss's music.

this particular performance will be very hard to beat, so full and realised......essentially overwhelming.
But Karajan/Vienna from 1959, remains out front of the rest. Just give a listen to that profound "opening
with those YouTube Sun Flares synced with Wagner's Love-Death ! That and this Also Sprach.......
............the ultimate trip.
..............fuck your jealous gods.......Nature is Supreme.
"Eternal, Magnificent Nature" < Richard Strauss
Man...............!!! Only real Sex can top this stuff.
All....and more........of the yearnings, the deepest passions, the frankly scary powers and mysteries, that
Strauss concealed in this........perhaps his ultimate orchestral testament.
What a truly great work this is.................
