Conductor:
Christian Thielemann

Background: The dream team: Renee Fleming and Christian Thielemann, today's foremost interpreters of Richard Strauss, in a brand new recording of the Four Last Songs, plus other arias and songs by Strauss. Fleming recorded these songs once before, ten years ago before she had ever sung them live.

Since then, these enduringly popular showcases for the soprano voice have become signature pieces for Fleming and a regular and much-loved part of her concert repertoire. With years of experience of live performances behind her, Fleming is ready now to revisit these works, bringing more insight, fresh interpretations and greater maturity. She is conducted by Christian Thielemann, a renowned interpreter of Strauss.
