Richard Strauss satirising his publisher & exploring exoticism with vertiginously high vocals: Unerhört (Outrageous) from tenor Daniel Behle and pianist Oliver Schnyder
Unerhört - Richard Strauss; Daniel Behle, Oliver Schnyder; Prospero Classical Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 13 April 2021 Star rating: 4.0 (★★★★) A recital which takes us down some rewarding byways in Richard Strauss' song outputThis disc of songs by Richard Strauss from tenor Daniel Behle and pianist Oliver Schnyder on Prospero Classical comes with the name Unerhört (Outrageous) which is a description which hardly seems to need to apply to Strauss songs, but Behle and Schnyder have been looking beyond the well-known and have come up with a selection of lesser-known, unknown and yes, outrageous songs including the Gesänge des Orients and the highly satirical Krämerspiegel (Shopkeeper's Mirror), written as a result of Strauss' contractual problems with his publisher!

Of course, there is often a wide stylistic divide between teacher and student (Horatio Parker and Charles Ives come immediately to mind), but these concertos seem to share a spiritual affinity. Indeed, one finds a similar combination of elegiac lyricism and rhythmic energy in all three works.Piston’s Concerto (1957) opens pensively, quickly builds to an aching climax (beginning around 4'00") with the first movement ending almost abruptly on a note of resignation.
