Henry Lewis&#8217; recording with the Royal Philhamonic of Strauss&#8217; Also Sprach Zarathustra received good reviews when it was released in 1970, but after the Phase 4 series was completed, never was re-released on CD (from what research I have done); this is the first CD issue of this sympathetically-played taping. Lorin Maazel&#8217;s performances of Strauss&#8217; Death and Tranfiguration and Tchaikovsky&#8217;s Francesca also receive well -balanced performances, with some subtle highlighting of solos and instrumental groupings, typical of the Phase 4 technique, but not glaringly so as in earlier Phase 4 recordings. Sonic blockbusters, ably performed, spectacularly recorded. <a title=\"Strauss; Also Sprach Zarathustra &amp; Tchaikovsky Francesca sample\" href=\"http:\/\/klassichaus.us\/media\/KHCD-2011-088-2CD-sample.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for an MP3 sample.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More new titles posted on <a title=\"Classical LPS and tapes digitally restored and transferred to CD\" href=\"http:\/\/klassichaus.us\" target=\"_blank\">Klassic Haus Restorations<\/a> &#8211; thanks for visiting! &#8211; Cheers &#8211; Curt Timmons<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KHCD-2011-088-2CD \u00a0(STEREO) &#8211; Richard Strauss; Also Sprach Zarathustra &#8211; Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\/Henry Lewis; Richard Strauss; Death and Transfiguration, Op. 24; Peter Tchaikovsky: Francesca da Rimini, Op. 32 &#8211; Lorin Maazel\/New Philharmonia Orchestra &#8211; Two London Phase 4 LPs were used to create this special-priced 2 CD set.
