NY: Mälkki Conducts NY Phil

Susanna Mälkki conducts Strauss’s iconic Also sprach Zarathustra, which launches with a majestic fanfare that hails a primeval sunrise and ends in a chord that suggests the mystery of the universe. She also leads the Philharmonic in Haydn’s Philosopher Symphony; listen for French horns and English horns engaging in a musical conversation in the remarkable opening Adagio.
