Berliner Philharmoniker / Gustavo Dudamel

A truly breathtaking new recording from, quite simply, the most exciting and gifted young conductor of our times

A rite of passage and true legacy project: Dudamel’s debut recording with the legendary Berlin Philharmonic

Recorded live at the Philharmonie in Berlin, whose acoustics were designed expressly for the brilliant, luxurious tonalities of this late-romantic music

Specially-commissioned conceptual album presentation, visuals and tools – all designed to appeal to a broad “discovery” audience. Epic, evocative and virtuosic, Richard Strauss’s beloved tone poem, Also sprach Zarathustra, was inspired by Nietzsche’s poem, and immortalised in Kubrick’s science-fiction cinema classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey

Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegel are concert-hall favourites: ebullient, optimistic and filled with Straussian melodic and harmonic invention

Gustavo Dudamel earned a “Best Orchestral Recording” Grammy® in 2012 for his recording of Brahms Symphony No. 4 with the LA Philharmonic and was named Musical America’s “Musician of the Year” for 2013
