This month we’re celebrating the genius of Richard Strauss, the composer of great works including Der Rosenkavalier, Till Eulenspiegel and the Four Last Songs. Over seven pages David Nice explores the elements that make Strauss’s music great. Plus, on this month’s cover CD recording you can hear the BBC National Orchestra of Wales perform Struass’s iconic piece Also sprach Zarathustra alongside Tod und Verklärung. Also in this issue, James Naughtie meets the early music pioneer Jordi Savall.
