Description

"I never really believed in being inspired by the beauty of nature, but the Roman ruins have taught me otherwise; the thoughts just come flying to you there." With these words, Richard Strauss described the creation of his tone poem "Aus Italien," which reflects his impressions of Rome, the beach at Sorrento, and Neapolitan folk life.

The work is complemented by selected orchestral songs, which were performed at the Richard Strauss Festival in Garmisch-Partenkirchen by the Munich Radio Orchestra under the direction of Rémy Ballot, featuring soprano Joo-Anne Bitter. The program combines "Aus Italien" with the orchestral songs "Ich liebe Dich," "Mein Auge," "Meinem Kinde," "Winterweihe," and "Morgen!".
