Product Description Richard Strauss' Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme suite was one of his own favorite scores, an absolute jewel of incidental music that combines the composer's romanticism with his love of the Baroque music of Jean-Baptiste Lully. D. Wilson Ochoa has created a new symphonic orchestral suite from Strauss' opulent Ariadne auf Naxos, enabling the orchestra to revel in music of extreme beauty and sensuous luxury, studded with gorgeous instrumental solos and the composer's incomparable blend of poignancy, humor and melodic richness. Review CLASSICS TODAY Artistic Quality: 10 / Sound Quality: 10 "I sure hope the folks in Buffalo know what a prize they have in JoAnn Falletta. Her Naxos discography has few peers in terms of imaginative programming and quality of results. The city couldn't ask for a more positive or alluring cultural calling card, and the present release offers a case in point... Here, thanks to Falletta and the folks in Buffalo, in this luminously played and recorded performance, we can savor them afresh. So what are you waiting for? Go for it." --Classics Today.com
