Eine Alpensinfonie - Op. 64, is a tone poem by German composer Richard Strauss in 1915
"......Strauss's Alpine Symphony: a dawn to dusk Alpine ascent. From the spine-chilling opening evoking the hours before dawn and the richness of sunrise, through to the euphoria of the summit and the drama of the mountain tempest, this is Strauss at his most colourful" - Source Wales site (BBC)
