Strauss: Burleske in D Minor, TrV 145 - Beethoven: Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92
The conductor of several Strauss premières with the young Friedrich Gulda: an ideal line-up for Strauss's insane early work, heard here in an appropriate coupling with Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, the dance-like rhythms of which are particularly well brought out.
