danasgoodstuff Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 He'd be 149, but he'd still be Richard Strauss... Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 Love Strauss - lots of entertaining pieces but it's Der Rosenkavalier that I like best. Quote
king ubu Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 "Salome" was the first opera I ever bought on CD (the Karajan EMI GROC). Quote
T.D. Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 One of the best opera composers IMO. In addition to the better known works, I'll tout Die Frau ohne Schatten, Capriccio and Ariadne auf Naxos. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 How's that "Transfiguration" going? Quote
king ubu Posted August 8, 2013 Report Posted August 8, 2013 more into transmogrification myself ... Quote
