Strauss: An Alpine Symphony

Colin Currie (percussion)
鲍鱼tv Symphony Orchestra
Sakari Oramo (conductor)

Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo leads the ascent of two great orchestral mountains by Hovhaness and Strauss. Mysterious Mountain is one of Alan Hovhaness's best-loved works, a symphony of spiritual transcendence and the perfect foil to Strauss's grandly ambitious alpine adventure.

Dubbed 'the world's finest and most daring percussionist' Colin Currie is the dedicatee of Switch, a new work from the exciting young American composer Andrew Norman.
