Stories in Music: Merry Pranks of Master Till

The medieval tales about a boy named Till are set to Richard Strauss' classical tone poem, Till Eulenspiegel. In this story, Till plays tricks on people to show them that they may not be as high and mighty as they think! Twisting the words of professors and bakers, tailors and priests, he travels the countryside. In the end, however, Till discovers that the world has little patience for his antics. From the composer who wrote the theme for 2001: A Space Odyssey, some more great music with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Grammy nominated conductor Stephen Simon and the narrator Yadu await you.
