These were Jan Latham-Koenig’s valedictory 2001 recordings with the Strasbourg Philharmonic and as pianist in partnership with Joan Rodgers in London’s Henry Wood Hall in 2008. The account of Don Juan cannot be faulted: ideally paced, with a bold contribution from the horns and strings which are virile and rich. The tension in Metamorphosen, although not low, is a little inconsistent but reaches an impressively passionate climax with good, full-bodied recording. The conductor also provides highly sympathetic accompaniments for his soloist, Joan Rodgers. She has chosen some of Strauss’s most appealing songs and her simple style suits the miscellaneous Lieder, particularly the two settings inspired by roses and the familiar “Morgen!”. In some of the Op 10 Lieder her voice tends to peak on fortissimos but, overall, this is an enjoyable selection.
