David Harbin enthused: >The Staatkapelle Dresden is my favourite orchestra. and asked: >What other recordings of this fine orchestra would others add to a >must-hear list? Rudolf Kempe's three 3-CD sets of Richard Strauss's orchestral music, which I think can safely be referred to by that much overworked word, classic. The last time I saw them on offer, they were cheaper per CD than Naxos. Don't decide which set to get, David - buy the lot! Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
