Munchner Philharmoniker - R. Strauss: Symphonia Domestica Op. 53

In the wake of it's first performance under his own direction in March 1904, Strauss struck a self-satisfied note: "Domestica has turned out a success, it sounds great, but it's very difficult." The extreme technical demands and the large resources required - the intimate details of the composer's private life are translated into a monumental tone poem in his Sinfonia domestica. The Munich Philharmonic performs this opulent late-Romantic score in the Isarphilharmonie in Munich under it's conductor emeritus, Zubin Mehta.
