Strauss鈥檚 Oboe Concerto

Richard Strauss composed his Oboe Concerto in what has been described by some as his 鈥業ndian Summer', that creative period which began at about the time of his eightieth birthday, in 1944. The Symphonic Fantasy: Aus Italien, meanwhile, was composed when the composer was just twenty-two; Christoph K枚nig opens the concert with its first movement, which Strauss himself called 鈥榓 prelude'. The afternoon - and the series - closes with Dvo艡谩k's rarely performed Fifth Symphony; it is full of folk-influenced melodies from his native Bohemia - and well worth discovering.....

The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
