Andris Nelsons

Strauss Andris Nelsons Japan Import edition

Two world-class orchestras, a visionary conductor and one of the most important composers in music history: the new album and tour project by Andris Nelsons, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig and the Boston Symphony Orchestra is a musical meeting of superlatives. With the participation of Yuja Wang (Burleske) and Yo Yo Ma (Don Quixote), the two orchestras and their joint principal conductor present all the great symphonic works of Richard Strauss in one album and on tour. Each of the orchestras arranged three of the CDs; on the seventh, they can not only be heard alternately, but even together with the Festliches Präludium.

Says Andris Nelsons, "This joint Strauss project is a real matter of the heart for me... The partnership between the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Gewandhaus Orchestra is a dream come true for me."
