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.
