Here is what people are saying about the Strauss: Orchestral Works
5 Star Rating  "Strauss Orchestral Works"2008-04-27
- Reviewed By release10
Strauss is usually hard to separate the good from the bad in the more marginal works, however the tone poems are always worth the price (with a couple exceptions). Under the aegis of Kempe, the fine Strauss orchestral lines are clearer than under almost any other conductor. Plus you get some really rarely performed pieces. An A+ in my book!

 
3 Star Rating  "Making lemonade out of some really sour lemons"2007-11-13
- Reviewed By suh872
Strauss called himself a "first-class second-rate composer" and I'd say that assessment is about right. He's not groundbreaking in any way, despite what Strauss enthusiasts might say. Other Germanic composers of his time were atonally tuneless (like Schoenberg) or just astringent and academic (like Hindemith). For the most part, Strauss's works are provincial, pleasant, and quaint -- what any Bavarian with a good command of a symphony orchestra would write.

Lots of people crow on and on about Ein Heldenleben and Till Eulenspiegel (both outstanding works and excellently performed on Disc 3). His best works tend to be the straightforward ones and they're famous for being so blatant in their descriptions. I would say about 5 discs of this set are great -- excellent performances of works that could be incredibly boring if put in the wrong hands. Fortunately, Kempe and the Dresden Orchestra do amazing things. The sound isn't the greatest (these are kind of old recordings), but the warmth and excitement is uncommonly good.

The rest of his works, and there are plenty of them, are absolutely miserable and third-rate. I have yet to find a person who finds any musical merit or amusement in Panathenaezug. I realize it's hard to make a work with a left-hand piano solo work well, but Ravel this is certainly not. The other piano works (which comprise the rest of Disc 2) are also abominations. Zarathustra (disc 5) rambles endlessly -- after hearing the famous opening, it's best to go on to something else. I'm angered by the fact I've wasted 35 minutes of my life every time I've listened to the lifeless and incredibly inane music found in Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (disc 6).

So I'm giving this box set 3 stars. 5 stars for the good stuff, 1 star for the dreck. No one should be subjected to some of Strauss's long-winded torture, regardless of how badly some might think they want his complete orchestral works (though this isn't even a complete set anyway).

Knowing what I know now about Strauss, I would not buy this set. I would have been much happier with a smaller box with his true gems on it with updated sound quality. I suppose I would have bought this set anyway just to see how bad the bad works are. You've been warned.

The performance seems excellent
Very few have the guts to play Richard Strauss (e.g. Burleska for piano or the AlpenSinfonie) but Kempe is convincing

5 Star Rating  "Outstanding performances"2007-05-13
- Reviewed By dr_subtilis
Rudolf Kempe's interpretations of Richard Strauss orchestral works (almost complete - one miss the orchestral songs) have been classic recordings since they first appeared on record in the early seventies (1970-75).

Especially fine are his interpretations of the core works, e.g., the symphonic poems Also sprach Zarathustra, Ein Heldenleben, Eine Alpensinfonie, Tod und Verklärung, Don Juan, Till Eulenspiegel, Don Quixote. All these are given first rate interpretations.

Furthermore, you get outstanding interpretations of Strauss' two horn concertos as well, with Peter Damm's superb horn playing, and an outstanding performance of Metamorphosen.

There is simply no rival to this collection of "core works of Richard Strauss".

In addition, this box collects also Strauss less interesting orchestral works - see Amazon's listing above. These minor works receive fine interpretations and performances too, but the main attraction is of course the core works above.

Sound quality is very fine - just excellent analogue stereo - and the orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden, was one of the top orchestras in the world when these sessions were put on record.

Warmly recommended!
 
5 Star Rating  "Reviving a Lost Love"2006-08-07
- Reviewed By rsteinb615
The highest praise for any conductor must be that he rekindles enthusiasm and love for music that had been recently abandoned. In his autobiography, the conductor Felix Weingartner confesses that he had grown out of touch with Strauss' music; until hearing this set, I had felt the same, with only a few exceptions. But Rudolf Kempe and his really great Staatskapelle Dresden have won me back to Richard's orchestral music. So far, I have only heard part of the set: Zarathustra, Heldenleben, Till, Tod und Verklaerung, Der Buerger als Edelmann, Don Juan, Burleske, and Sinfonia Domestica, but my appetite is whet for more. Because of the refined, subtle, and yet intense conducting of Kempe, what used to strike me as cheap and taudry now strikes me as profound and moving. And the sheer musical skill of Strauss in thematic invention and counterpoint never ceases to amaze. Kempe was truly, in my not so humble opinion, the greatest conductor of the German classics following Furtwaengler; Karajan was empty and shallow by comparison. Kempe brings to this music the same passion and dignity that he brought to Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner, Schumann, and other of "his" composers. To make just one comparison, Reiner's Zarathustra, once hallowed by me as by most listeners, now sounds like overripe, rotting fruit as compared to the passionate yet thoughtful quality that Kempe brings to it. The Staatskapelle Dresden, by the way, sounds like the greatest orchestra in the world, only matched by the Berlin Philharmonic under Kempe or Furtwaengler, an orchestra that produces incidentally beautiful sounds but whose main goal is the projection and characterization of the music. No virtuosity for its own sake, just musicianship, musicianship, and more musicianship. EMI's sound is the very epitome of how to record an orchestra: Impactful, yet smooth and detailed, with natural perspectives and no spotlighting. This set belongs in every music lover's library.
