MEHTA CONDUCTS STRAUSS

The other major orchestral release here features the Richard Strauss recordings conducted for Sony Classical by Zubin Mehta. ClassicsToday.com’s reviewer observed that “Mehta always has been an excellent Straussian”. The new 8-CD box includes major tone poems, the horn concertos, opera excerpts both orchestral and vocal – with soprano Jane Eaglen – and a complete recording of Salome, with Eva Marton in the title role and Mehta conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.
