The Boston Symphony Orchestra’s new music director made a splash with his first recording on the BSO label, featuring music by Wagner and Sibelius. Not to be overlooked, though, is a terrific DVD of an all-Strauss program with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, which Nelsons regularly guest conducts. It includes the rarely played ‘Macbeth,’ a majestic and well-paced ‘Also Sprach Zarathustra,’ and a relentlessly dazzling ‘Till Eulenspiegel.’–David Weininger, Boston Globe
