Über Richard Strauss

Richard Strauss was the last great German Romantic and a master of the tone poem and the orchestra. His Also sprach Zarathustra, with its sunrise fanfare immortalized by the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, is one of the most recognized openings in all of music. His operas like Der Rosenkavalier and his late Four Last Songs are pillars of the repertoire.
