(Genia Kuhmeier and Anne Schwanewilms - doing wonders with Strauss)


This week's Mid-Week concert features the legendary Dresden Staatskappele conducted by equally legendary French conductor Georges Pretres in a program of Richard Strauss and Beethoven. Also assisting are Sopranos Genia Kuhmeier and Anne Schwanewils and Mezzo-Sopano Bernarda Fink. The concert was recorded live at the Champs-Elysees in Paris on May 17, 2010 by Radio France. The program details are as follows:

The concert, as always is complete and is broken up into two parts. Part 1 (above) features the Strauss pieces and Part 2 (below) features the Beethoven and an unlisted encore of Brahms. The crowd was happy.


The announcements are in French, but I edited them down to fit the player. So don't run for the translator just yet.

Enjoy.
