This all-Strauss program of vocal splendor and orchestral thrills will leave you breathless. The tone poem  Also sprach Zarathustra  will be familiar to most for its opening "Sunrise," the iconic passage used in the film  2001: A Space Odyssey-but that's only one episode in a mysterious and marvelous work. From later in his career is  Capriccio, his final opera, which opens with a passionate string sextet instead of a traditional overture and culminates in a rapturous monologue that ranks as one of Strauss's finest soprano showpieces.
