Following the of Prokofiev's InchCantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October RevolutionInch, Kirill Karabits dedicates his next Audite recording with the Weimar Staatskapelle to the InchWeimarInch Strauss. Weimar was not only the metropolis of the classical era that acquired world fame thanks to Goethe and Schiller. Weimar was also the domain of great musicians Franz Liszt served as Kapellmeister in the city and invented the genre of the symphonic poem. Richard Strauss followed in his footsteps when he, as Kapellmeister from 1889 until 1894, presented his own first symphonic poems, InchMacBethInch and InchDon JuanInch, at the helm of the Weimar court orchestra. Kirill Karabits, Generalmusikdirektor of the Deutsches Nationaltheater since 2016, now presents, alongside today's Weimar Staatskapelle, not only these two major works of his great predecessor, but also InchTod und VerklarungInch (Death and Transfiguration), which Strauss had completed in Weimar. The contemporaneous Festmarsch in C major, TrV157 - Strauss' anniversary gift to InchDie Wilde Gung'lInch, the Munich orchestra he had conducted in his youth - is a true rarity, rounding off this recording.
