  4. Tod und Verklärung (Death and transfiguration) Op 24 - Richard Strauss

Fulham Symphony Orchestra and multi-award winning British violist Rosalind Ventris present three rarely performed musical gems, and Strauss’s profound and poignant tone-poem. This invigorating programme displays the wealth of European musical culture and identity prominent at the turn and first half of the twentieth century.

First juxtaposing fluttering woodwind melodies with rousing string folk themes in Suk’s Scherzo Fantastique, the orchestra then leaps to fellow Czech Martinu’s Rhapsody Concerto for viola and orchestra, and his exploration of fantasy and French impressionism through Moravian traditional melodies. Folk music is combined with late romanticism in Bartók’s virtuosic Four Pieces for orchestra. Finally Richard Strauss’s poignant Tod und Verklärung (Death and transfiguration) focuses on the internal struggle within and the desire for redemption and resolution of the soul.
