Review by Kai Nehm

The album "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks Death And Transfiguration" by Richard Strauss, performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Fritz Reiner, is a stunning classical masterpiece. The album features two of Strauss's most famous works, "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks" and "Death and Transfiguration," both of which are performed with incredible skill and precision by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

The album opens with "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks," a playful and mischievous piece that tells the story of the legendary trickster Till Eulenspiegel. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra brings this piece to life with their dynamic and energetic performance, capturing the playful spirit of Till's pranks and antics.

The second half of the album features Strauss's "Death and Transfiguration," a powerful and emotional piece that tells the story of a dying artist's journey to the afterlife. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's performance of this piece is nothing short of breathtaking, with their expert handling of the complex and nuanced musical themes.

"Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks Death And Transfiguration" is a must-listen for any classical music fan.
