Richard Strauss - Four Last Songs
Recorded at Wyastone Concert Hall, the musicians of the English Symphony Orchestra and soprano April Fredrick perform this moving chamber version of Strauss's final song cycle by Australian composer James Ledger.
Ledger's arrangement was commissioned for the legendary British soprano, Dame Felicity Lott, and premiered in the Wigmore Hall by the Nash Ensemble under the baton of Bernard Haitink.
