{"product_id":"asmik-grigorian-strauss-laws-of-solitude","title":"Asmik Grigorian | Strauss Laws of Solitude","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSinger Asmik Grigorian has chosen to record both versions of Richard Strauss's ultimate masterpiece, composed in 1948: the version with orchestra and the much rarer version with piano. For her, this work is associated with the idea of solitude, but not an unhappy solitude, rather a journey towards infinity: \"Now all my senses long to sink into slumber. And the soul, unguarded, longs to soar up in freedom, so that, in night’s magic circle, it may live deeply and a thousandfold.\" writes Hermann Hesse in Beim Schlafengehen (Going to Sleep), the third song in the cycle. For this unique coupling, Asmik is joined by two long-time accomplices: conductor Mikko Franck, with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, and pianist Markus Hinterhauser, artistic director of the Salzburg Festival. The combination of the two versions opens up new sensations: after the well-known abundance of Strauss's orchestration an incredible sensitivity is revealed by the piano version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD \/ Classical","offer_id":46355279478954,"sku":"ALPHA1046","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vinyl \/ Classical","offer_id":46355279511722,"sku":"ALPHA1047","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/7413\/9964\/files\/GrigorianStrauss.png?v=1731690193","url":"https:\/\/shop.carnegiehall.org\/products\/asmik-grigorian-strauss-laws-of-solitude","provider":"Carnegie Hall Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
