Episode 4

With Katie Derham. Including the Vienna Philharmonic in Haydn: Symphony No 90 and Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra. Plus CPE Bach: Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu, Wq 240.

Katie Derham concludes her exploration of the music of Richard Strauss with his most famous tone poem in a performance recorded in Vienna's Musikverein at the beginning of this Strauss anniversary year. Also today, a symphony by Haydn and an oratorio by Bach's youngest son. C P E Bach considered his The Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus to be one of his greatest works, a reflection agreed upon by audiences at the time, and succeeding generations of composers, including Haydn and Beethoven who both drew inspiration from it.
