Decades after his death, Richard Strauss enjoyed a posthumous comeback thanks to his searing & cerebral tone poem 'Also sprach Zarathustra.' The indelible opening trumpet fanfare is instantly recognizable from its use in films like '2001: A Space Odyssey' & 'Barbie.' Equally colorful works by Hector Berlioz & Claude Debussy add Gallic flair before the program hurtles to its heart-racing conclusion with John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine.-------
