Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-06 00:00:00 Stephen Fisher This book of essays on Richard Strauss is extremely well-written and well put together. There is not a lot of biographical information, but that is easily obtained elsewhere. What this volume does have is a series of really insightful examinations of Strauss' career and music. I especially liked the perspectives on Strauss' early works and on thorny topics like the eroticism in his music and his relationships with the Third Reich and the business side of music.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-05-06 00:00:00 John Distaulo, Jr. Placing a second copy of the same book does not change the fact that it was terrible. See my first review for more information on this scholarly farce.
