This is it...the last song in the set of 'The Four Last Songs' by Richard Strauss. Written just a year before his death and published posthumously, these songs are among the most beautiful in the entire repertoire.
Im Abendrot is performed by Jessye Norman with the Gewandhausorchester from Leipzig, Germany. Kurt Masur is the conductor.
I'll show you the full orchestral score briefly. Then, we'll dive into a piano reduction to reveal the secrets behind this masterpiece. I hope you enjoy!
