Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen performs Richard Strauss’s Four Last Songs, written at the end of his life, reflecting on love, beauty, and acceptance of fate. The program opens with “Nicht zu schnell”, a tender miniature orchestrated by Colin Matthews from Mahler’s unfinished sketches, and Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony closes with a burst of vitality and joy.

Please note: Beginning in the 2026/27 season, Masterworks will be known as Classics.
