Strauss

Guest in Baden-Baden

Strauss' Don Quixote tells of great dreams - and their failure. With the Four Last Songs, transience echoes softly. Hanna-Elisabeth Müller lends her voice to the songs, General Music Director Gianandrea Noseda conducts the Philharmonia Zurich. Following a successful concert in Zurich, the Philharmonia will also be performing at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden on 22 February.
