RUED LANGGAARD
Prelude to Antichrist
RICHARD STRAUSS
An Alpine Symphony
Thomas Dausgaard, conductor
Seattle Symphony
Following their critically-acclaimed recordings of Mahler’s Symphony No. 10 and the Nielsen Symphonies, Thomas Dausgaard and the Seattle Symphony return within inspiring and powerful performances of works rooted in the fascination of the Antichrist. Dausgaard has championed the music of his countryman throughout his career—and this album couples the Danish composer Rued Langgaard’s Prelude to Antichrist with Richard Strauss’An Alpine Symphony, capturing the expansive essence of live performance on disc. This recording is also available in an immaculate 5.1 digital surround version engineered by 2017 Grammy winner for Best Surround Sound, Dmitriy Lipay.
