Strauss’ Alpine Symphony summons an orchestra of well over 100 musicians to depict the majesty of nature in spellbinding relief. Through rocky summits, waterfalls, a hunting party, a violent storm, and a triumphal return, Strauss unleashes the full potential of symphonic writing in his final tone poem. Lorna McGhee gives the Pittsburgh premiere of this Rautavaara concerto, which evokes dark and ethereal Scandinavian landscapes, highlighting a program filled with themes of the natural world.
