Ditto. The sonics are just great, buy it. This and the horn concerto were Strauss' swansong. Both are very introspective pieces. I guess, after the aftermath of the war and his relationship with the Nazis........
The only recording I know is the Berlin Phil with Karajan. I tend to find Karajan a little dry, but this recording is pretty magical. Haven't listened for quite a while, so I can't vouch for the DG sonics on this one, but the performance is great.
