“Also Sprach Zarathustra” #90 1/24/1970

One of the most polarizing movies ever made was “2001: A Space Odyssey.” People either absolutely loved it or absolutely hated it. The film was notable for using a number of classical pieces in the soundtrack. Example: a passage from Richard Strauss’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra” as the opening fanfare, done here by the Berlin Philharmonic. Elvis opened his shows for many years with this piece as well.
