About

CDebussy's joke about Richard Strauss is well known: “Of the two Richards, I choose Wagner, and of the two Strausses, I prefer Johann.” But if they are considered to be supporters of the very large form, the two Richards are here brought together in two concise works: the Serenade for wind instruments by a twenty-year-old Strauss, who is here following in the footsteps of his father, the first solo horn in the Bayreuth Festival orchestra; and the Wesendonck Lieder, a cycle of five miniatures in which Wagner hones the themes that will be those of Tristan und Isolde: a subliminal message sent to Mathilde Wesendonck, which we are eager to hear in the voice of Matthias Goerne. Passacaglia by a Webern who is not yet dodecaphonic and Schubert's Fourth Symphony will finally take us to Vienna.
