Strauss - September - Kirsten Flagstad
Warning - this is a historical recording. The sound quality is poor. Were it of lesser importance, I would not even consider posting it here.
Shortly before he died, Richard Strauss wrote a letter to Kirsten Flagstad. He asked her to give the premiere of his four last songs. He requested that she find a suitable conductor and orchestra for the occasion. She honored his request by choosing the world's greatest conductor and the orchestra that was the home of the world's greatest horn player.
So here you have the world premiere performance of September from Strauss' Four Last Songs.
London Philharmonia Orchestra, 1950
Wilhelm Furtwangler - conductor
Kirsten Flagstad - soprano
Dennis Brain - horn
Note: this concert is from 1950. Horn aficionados will know that Dennis Brain is not performing on the Alexander horn pictured here, but rather on his Raoux horn.
