About Richard Strauss

Richard Strauss, born in Munich in 1864, stands as one of the most influential composers of the late Romantic and early modern eras. Known for his profound impact on the world of opera and orchestral music, Strauss's compositions are celebrated for their innovative orchestration and advanced harmonic style. His father, Franz Strauss, a renowned horn player, nurtured his son's exceptional musical talent from a young age. Strauss's repertoire is vast and diverse, ranging from the revolutionary opera "Salome" to the iconic tone poem "Also Sprach Zarathustra," which has become synonymous with grand cinematic scores. His operatic masterpieces, such as "Der Rosenkavalier," showcase his gift for melody and his ability to create memorable, emotionally resonant music. Strauss's contributions to the soprano voice are particularly notable, with works like "Four Last Songs" standing as testament to his enduring genius.
