Jonas Kaufmann sings Richard Strauss’s Four Last Songs
Strauss’s Four Last Songs are the ultimate romantic orchestral songs – and the final, gorgeous sunset of German Romanticism. This concert finds Jonas Kaufmann breaking new ground in this most rapturous of musical farewells.
True, they’re more usually sung by a soprano, but the prospect of hearing Kaufmann’s transcendent tone and unparalleled sensitivity in Strauss’s final masterpiece is mouth-watering.
