Zarathustra SACD/DSD
Hello,
I've been searching for the best recorded version of (Also Sprach) Zarathustra, by Richard Strauss, and I really like the 1973 Karajan version for its tempo and interpretation. Has this ever been released on SACD or as a DSD file? The CD version has some very screechy strings. Are there any other versions of this piece that people like? Thanks, Sean B |

Thanks, Sean B OK, I'm sure this isn't what you're looking for... but ages ago I found this awesome Bluegrass version from someone in this newsgroup. [I seem to recall it was Mike Rivers, but may be wrong.] Anyway, I put it in my dropbox. ~~ Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cfv21c6ybg...0bluegrass.wav -- == Later... Ron Capik -- |

Unusual, for sure. Hmm, I'm going to have to dig deep in my archives to find the source and details. I found that clip 20++ years ago in a Recording Magazine extra stuff CD. I seem to recall it was attributed to someone on this group. Damn, that was a while ago... ~ If/when I find more I'll post it. -- == Later... Ron Capik -- |

The 1954 recording by Reiner conducting Chicago Symphony is considered by many to be the standard to which others are measured. https://www.amazon.com/Strauss-Also-.../dp/B000003FE9 |

Thus Spoke Zarathustra Music by Richard Strauss Performed by Wiener Philharmoniker (uncredited) Conducted by Herbert von Karajan (uncredited) Kubrick and Clarke used commercial recordings for the music track, as they had run out of money for a realm orchestral sound track. As it happened, it worked very well. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

It took me almost a minute to find out that Karajan and the Wiener Philharmoniker only issued one recording of that piece. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
