Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian will make her debut with the Munich Philharmonic on April 26 and 27. She is stepping in for Anja Harteros, who unfortunately had to cancel her participation in the concerts for personal reasons. In addition to the »Four Last Songs« by Richard Strauss, Asmik Grigorian will also interpret the Liebestod from Richard Wagner's opera »Tristan und Isolde« in the Isarphilharmonie.

The extreme technical demands and the large resources required – the intimate details of Richard Strauss' private life are translated into a monumental tone poem in his Sinfonia domestica. The Munich Philharmonic performs this opulent late-Romantic score in the Isarphilharmonie in Munich under its conductor emeritus, Zubin Mehta. For all digital releases we are now using the latest Dolby Atmos technology, which gives an immersive audio experience which is true to the original acoustic of the concert hall where the performance happened.
