On her second PENTATONE album Sinnbild, soprano Hanna-Elisabeth Müller presents an enchanting collection of orchestral songs by Richard Strauss together with the WDR Symphony Orchestra conducted by Christoph Eschenbach. The program, which culminates in the famous Four Last Songs, explores all the forms of farewell – the great and the small – that we go through as human beings. Amidst this melancholy, Strauss’ lush, sumptuous orchestral compositions and his extraordinary understanding of the soprano voice offer deep comfort to the listener.

Hanna-Elisabeth Müller is one of the most celebrated lyric sopranos of our time. Sinnbild is the second album in her exclusive collaboration with PENTATONE. The WDR Sinfonieorchester has already released several albums on the label, including Beethoven’s complete symphonies (2020) and Hindemith’s orchestral works (2018), both with Marek Janowski, and the Strauss album Aber der richtige … (2018) with Arabella Steinbacher and Lawrence Foster. Christoph Eschenbach, a world-renowned conductor and pianist, makes his PENTATONE debut.
