    Forget the programming aspect of this tone poem and focus on the incredible orchestration and the atmospheric playing of the orchestra. Karajan loved technical advances in recording technique and this shows the beauty of digital conversion as DG invented it. Close your eyes and be entertained.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Performance of this Masterpiece, in Amazing Sound.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Ive heard all the leading recordings of this fine work. My favourite was, and remains, Karajan and the BPO. He has the full measure of the piece. The orchestra play with power, refinement and amazing tenderness under his expert Straussian baton.
    Previn, here, outclasses every other recording, Karajan apart. The sound is breathtaking, rich, detailed and full. Nothing betters the aural aspect of this recording, from any source.
    Previn has a firm grip of where this music is going. The dramatic passages are athletic and tight, the tender passages are just that, tender, beautifully voiced and phrased.
    Previn never rushes the music, neither is he slow or ponderous, it all feels just right.
    Previns great virtue is to allow the music to speak for itself without distortion. He puts composer first and last, truly the servant of the composer.
    This is a wonderful performance and recording, with orchestral playing to die for.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Version of Strauss' Alpine Tone Poem
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Recently I purchased, courtesy of غ a 2 CD set of tone poems composed by Richard Strauss and the Alpine Symphony was the last piece of the set. This version was performed by Solti conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the performance and recording blew me away.

    Now, I have always admired the performances of Karajan and after reading some reviews was tempted to purchase this version as well. I found it really enjoyable, and yet Karajan's slower tempi adding almost seven minutes to the length of the work. The differences between the two performances can be summed up is that Solti's much faster tempi enhances the dramatic effect of the music which appealed to me, particularly during the "Dangerous moments-summit" sequence, and the final seven minutes of the work which is superbly played. Of course, other listeners may not take the same view, some perhaps feeling that Solti's quicker tempi might just compromise the very nature of the music itself.

    The one thing I will agree on with other viewers is that the recordings, bearing in mind they date from 1979(Solti) and 1981(Karajan) are superb. Both versions convey a full-blooded sound which will enhance the enjoyment of any listener who loves the music of Richard Strauss.

    One final point, this disc only contains one work; the Solti contains 5 of Strauss' Tone Poems which makes it better value.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Fine Performance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2010

    This looked as though it was going to be a well performed recording. A better combiation of Previn conducting the The VPO is always a good bet.
    Telarc produce some incredible reproductions, and this is no exception. They really have made a high quality sound in this CD.
    Price although important, was a factor but in this case I got an absolute bargain. Richard Strauss composed some wonderful work, but this must rate as one of the most expressive of all his compositions. It's full of moods and joy, and certain to please those who love expressive music.
    I would recommend this CD to anyone who wants to listen to some of the most inspired work of creative music. You won't be disappointed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I have several recordings of this piece, and yet have only just discovered this version. Goodness, what I have been missing! It's absolutely wonderful. Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic have captured what Strauss was trying to convey when he composed this Symphony.
    I can't believe that anyone who has experienced the absolute magic of a sunrise, could fail to be moved when they listen to movements 1) Night, 2) Sunrise, 3) The ascent. I have never heard it played like this, and I have been fortunate enough to hear it played live twice as well..
    I would heartily recommend this recording. It was written for a big Orchestra, and the Berlin Phil certainly do Strauss proud...!

    Dat dit een van de beste uitvoeringen is van de Alpensinfonie, was mij al bekend. Maar dat er geen trackindeling is, viel mij zwaar tegen. Bekend was dat ie ooit nogal abrupt is gemaakt op een storende manier, maar om nu de hele trackindeling te wissen? Jammer. Samen met Sinopoli en Karajan behoort deze uitvoering tot de top 3.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Strauss, R.: An Alpine Symphony Op.64 ...
    Reviewed in Italy on 29 November 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Il CD arrivato con un giorno di anticipo sulla data prevista, con confezione idonea e CD intonso e sigillato. Rimane comunque difficile capire perch un plico postale UE impieghi 18 giorni per arrivare dalla Germania all'Italia.
    Con questo CD ho completato i miei desiderata delle incisioni del Grande Piccolo K (sono a 50 Cd), avendo entrambe le grandi opere sinfoniche di R. Strauss, un autore non vicinissimo ai miei gusti, ma comunque grandissimo nel panorama del '900. Con " Also spreach Zarathustra" ed i "Planets" di G. Holst ho completato una classica triade musicale del novecento austriaco. L'incisione al massimo delle possibilit tecniche dell'epoca (1981), ed un apice dell'arte di Karajan. La grandezza di K. per essere giudicata deve essere valutata alla luce della concentrazione e della passione da lui applicata nella sessione delle prove: una vera lezione accademica indimenticabile, da cui si comprende appieno la sua poetica e arte direzionale. Un disco da non mancare, fino a quando rimarr disponibile nella versione originale, e non "impaccata" in un cofanetto. Altamente consigliabile!
