I am agree that is one of the best famous composers of XX century. do you like Capriccio? I love that, is so interesting and I love thi kind of autoreflectionist operas.

[mariandelochs]

I've not heard Capriccio yet - there's a bit yet for me to listen to in Strauss's works, but what I've listened to has been fabulous (Der Rosenkavalier, Arabella, Alpensinfonien, 4 Letzte Lieder, Till Eulenspiegel, Also Sprach Zarathustra, etc.). I love his operas because they, indeed, are more thoughtful and have more interesting characters than usual.

Thanks for the comment!

@mariandelochs Salome also a great oper,do you know that?

[mariandelochs]

@pasaiede  Yes, and I've recently got a hold of a historic recording of it with one of the finest Salomes ever singing - Ljuba Welitsch !

Thank you for the information, and thank you for this video. Richard Strauss is very interesting.

[mariandelochs]

You're very welcome. I believe Richard Strauss is the greatest composer of the XXth century, but that's just me.

Was für Stimmen! Sena Jurinac war DIE Idealbesetzung des Octavian. Ihre Natürlichkeit und menschliche Wärme verbunden mit höchster Gesangskultur machten jeden ihrer Auftritte zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis.
