The American soprano Katie van Kooten performs Richard Strauss's sumptuous swansong, the soaring melodies of his Four Last Songs suffused with calm acceptance in the face of approaching death. The music of Sibelius progresses from luminous beauty and wistfulness, to the triumphant majesty of the rousing finale of his glorious Fifth Symphony. Conducted by Edward Gardner.
