Singer Asmik Grigorian has chosen to record both versions of Richard Strauss's ultimate masterpiece, composed in 1948: the version with orchestra and the much rarer version with piano. Why? “Because “one” is never enough for me :)" writes Asmik. "My main interest in recording both versions was that they each require different colors - even if they are the same piece. Mikko Franck is one of the best conductors working today, and makes everything simple, like all the truly special things on this planet are. Markus Hinterhäuser is just a magician in everything he does. Making music with them makes me feel that I am not alone.” The Lithuanian soprano, who electrifies every opera stage and was named "Female Singer of the Year" at the 2023 Opus Klassik Awards, now presents her third recording for Alpha Classics. For her, Richard Strauss's ultimate masterpiece is associated with the idea of solitude, the solitude of childhood, the solitude of the artist… but not an unhappy solitude, rather a journey towards infinity.
