Description
Explore a deep re-evaluation of Richard Strauss, a figure considered by the author to be the greatest composer of the twentieth century. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work examines Strauss's complex life as a leading composer and national figure during the Third Reich. Kennedy provides a unique perspective on this period by drawing on previously ignored material, including Strauss's own personal letters and diaries. This book goes beyond musical analysis to reveal the personal side of the composer. It explores his long and tempestuous marriage to the soprano Pauline de Ahna and traces his significant professional relationships with librettists like Hugo von Hofmannsthal. For students and enthusiasts of classical music, this text offers a detailed look at the man behind the music through historical documents and personal accounts.
