Album DescriptionStrauss's most consistent source of inspiration in his long creative career was the sound of the soprano voice. The sublime beauty of his Four Last Songs, written when he was in his eighties belies their reputation as the pinnacle of artistic achievement for sopranos. Renowned Australian performer Yvonne Kenny has captured the heartfelt essence of this magnificent collection in all-new recordings for ABC Classics. Included on the disc are other Strauss highlights, such as the finale of Rosenkavalier, and the composer's wedding present to his bride, the exquisite song Morgen! (Tomorrow). This is a landmark Australian recording, and a must-have for serious collectors and amateur music-lovers alike.
