BBC Proms: The Met Orchestra Plays Strauss
Royal Albert Hall
Strauss the opera composer writes differently from Strauss the waltz man, and the Met Orchestra at the Albert Hall is here to prove it. This all-Strauss concert focuses on Salome's final scene, music that's psychologically unhinged, orchestrally uncompromising, and unsettling without needing stage spectacle to work. The piece arrives like a confession you didn't expect to overhear. In a concert hall this size, the harshness is inescapable. If you know Strauss mostly through orchestral repertoire, this will rewrite your sense of what he's capable of.
