This was excellent, and as somebody who "bags" mountain peaks, I absolutely loved it. I really am looking forward to hearing the whole symphone However, I couldn't find anywhere to purchase a download of this particular rendition as you gave it such a rave review. Is there a site that has that or is it only possible to purchase the physical CD? If not is there another good recording that can be purchased on-line?

Glad you enjoyed the music. Strauss really does an amazing job of creating a picture in the listener's mind. I hope you have a chance to listen to the whole piece, it is quite something. If you do, I suggest finding a quiet place so you can listen to the whole piece at least once without distraction or interruption. When you listen to it complete, you get a much stronger sense of the journey up and down the mountain.

Absolutely stunning. I've always wanted to visit Austria and Bavaria to see for myself the beauty of the country, but it's awesome to be able to 'hear' their beauty. :)
