| One of my favorite songs | Richard Strauss: "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"
This song is a memorable one that I performed with the student orchestra during my university days. I love not only the famous opening part, but also the beautiful melody that follows. I was captivated by the magnificent worldview depicted by the gorgeous orchestration that makes use of the large ensemble. |
