Biography
Richard Strauss was a leading German composer and conductor of the late Romantic and early modern eras. He is renowned for his masterful tone poems, including 'Also sprach Zarathustra', 'Don Juan', and 'An Alpine Symphony', which showcase his brilliant orchestration. His operatic works, particularly the scandalous 'Salome' and the popular 'Der Rosenkavalier', remain staples of the international repertoire. A prominent conductor of his own works and those of composers like *Wagner* and *Mozart*, Strauss's career spanned from imperial Germany through the Nazi era. His final works, such as the 'Four Last Songs', are considered sublime expressions of farewell.
