Richard Strauss is a composer much loved among audiences
throughout the world, both in the opera house and the concert hall.
Despite this popularity, Strauss was for many years ignored by
scholars, who considered his commercial success and his continued
reliance on the tonal system to be liabilities. However, the past
two decades have seen a resurgence of scholarly interest in the
composer. This Companion surveys the results, focusing on the
principal genres, the social and historical context, and topics
perennially controversial over the last century. Chapters cover
Strauss''s immense operatic output, the electrifying modernism of
his tone poems, and his ever-popular Lieder. Controversial topics
are explored, including Strauss''s relationship to the Third Reich
and the sexual dimension of his works. Reintroducing the composer
and his music in light of recent research, the volume shows
Strauss''s artistic personality to be richer and much more
complicated than has been previously acknowledged.
