The Strauss Family and Arthaus Musik present a limited 11 DVD Box Set with the 7 greatest operas by Richard Strauss, from “Salome” to “Capriccio”. Legendary recordings conducted by Karl Böhm, Carlos Kleiber, Claudio Abbado, Wolfgang Sawallisch and others, with a top-class ensemble, to mention a few: Brigitte Fassbaender, Renée Fleming, Franz Grundheber, Gwyneth Jones, James King, Nadja Michael, Lucia Popp and Falk Struckmann. Christian Strauss’ introductory remarks to the Collection: “June 11, 2014 is the 150th anniversary of the birth of my grandfather, Richard Strauss. Like the rest of our family, I have always had a deep affinity from my grandfather’s music. Arthaus Musik is releasing this special anniversary edition of outstanding opera recordings on DVD. To complete the portrait of the man behind the music, we have made available photographs and documents from our family archive to Arthaus Musik. I believe there is something here for everyone – for both seasoned Strauss connoisseurs, and for the music-lovers discovering this great composer for the first time.” A book with texts by the Strauss Family and Brigitte Fassbaender as well as numbered facsimile reproduction complement this unique Collection.
