| 1. | Till Eugenspiegels lustige Streiche Op.28 (Symphonic Poem) | 14:52 | | | 2. | Metamorphosen ( A study for solo strings) Av.142 | 28:58 | | | 3. | Tod und Verklärung Op.24 (Symphonic Poem) | 24:20 | | ‘Blomstedt's relaxed and witty account of Till Eulenspiegel will, I suspect, become one of my favourite recorded performances of this work. His Tod und Verkkirung, notable for scrupulous observance of Strauss's dynamics, is thrilling and ardently played'. 'Blomstedt conducts a memorable performance of Metamorphosen. Blomstedt has the advantage of the Dresden orchestra, which plays Strauss as almost no one else does, for an interpretation that comes near to rivalling Karajan's (DG) in mellowness'. Gramophone
‘The cultured richness of the Dresden string-playing and Blomstedt’s spaciously noble interpretation combine to place his recording of Metamorphosen alongside Karajan’s in distinction. Death and Transfiguration is hardly less impressive. Till is as captivatingly witty as you like, and the Denon sound is first class, gloriously full’. Penguin Guide
'This is an excellent performance, recorded with all Denon's usual skill and of course played by the Dresden orchestra with an almost arrogant authority'. (Also Sprach) 'Blomstedt's Don Juan is an ardent cavalier and the oboe soloist a real artist' Gramophone
