This exceptional programme of highlights from Richard Strauss's works was dedicated to his 150th birthday in Dresden. The reputation of the Staatskapelle Dresden as "THE Strauss-Orchestra" results from their special relationship with Richard Strauss and his works, which started 130 years ago. They have performed many world premieres of Richard Strauss's operas and orchestral works.

The DVD includes the documentary 'My Strauss' with Christian Thielemann, including a lot of archival footage with Richard Strauss, rehearsals and concert excerpts of Elektra, Rosenkavalier, Frau ohne Schatten, Heldenleben, Four Last Songs and more.
