Strauss - Death and Transfiguration - Le Bourgois Gentilhomme - Reiner","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaken together, these recordings illuminate Reiner’s unique relationship with Strauss. Both men were perfectionists who valued precision as a vehicle for truth in art. Reiner’s Strauss is never sentimentalized; it is noble, clear-eyed, and unflinchingly honest. Whether drawing luminous grandeur from the Vienna Philharmonic or razor-sharp brilliance from the Chicago Symphony, Reiner reveals the mind behind the emotion. His interpretations remind us that Strauss, for all his opulence, was a composer of intellect as much as passion. \u003cem data-end=\"2730\" data-start=\"2703\"\u003eDeath and Transfiguration\u003c\/em\u003e becomes not merely the story of an artist’s soul ascending to glory, but a meditation on control and transcendence; \u003cem data-end=\"2873\" data-start=\"2847\"\u003eLe Bourgeois Gentilhomme\u003c\/em\u003e transforms from pastiche into a sparkling essay on taste and refinement. Reiner’s achievement lies in showing Strauss as a master of both thought and feeling, his music radiant, precise, and enduring.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s): Death And Transfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConductor – Fritz Reiner\u003cbr\u003eOrchestra – Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eProducer: John Culshaw\u003cbr\u003eEngineer: James Brown\u003cbr\u003eRecorded 4-7 Sep 1956 at Sofiensaal, Vienna\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe Bourgois Gentilhomme: Suite, Op. 60    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConductor – Fritz Reiner\u003cbr\u003eOrchestra – Chicago Symphony Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Richard Mohr\u003cbr\u003eEngineer: Lewis Layton\u003cbr\u003eRecorded April 17 \u0026amp;
