Summary

Richard Strauss's life was rich in controversy, from the 'outrage' caused by operas 'Salome' and 'Elektra' to the years under the Nazi regime. This revised, second edition survey of his music rejects the view that Strauss's genius declined in his middle years, and traces refinements of style from the early 1920s to Strauss's late works.
