"Also sprach Zarathustra" ("Thus Spake Zarathustra") is one of Strauss's most audacious masterpieces - its opening a well-known musical depiction of sunrise over a black world, followed by music which journeys through the tempestuous joys and passions of life to culminate in serene fulfilment in its closing pages. Fran莽ois-Xavier Roth conducts this spectacular orchestral showpiece alongside two early works by Webern. Completing the programme, three beautiful concert arias and an ecstatic solo motet by Mozart, sung by the great Cardiff-born soprano Rosemary Joshua.
