Listen "Richard Strauss – The Architect of Operatic Shock and Grace"
Episode Synopsis
Richard Strauss – The Architect of Operatic Shock and GraceStrauss bent the late-Romantic orchestra into modern theater: tone poems that swagger and wink (Don Juan, Also sprach Zarathustra, Till Eulenspiegel) and operas that blaze and melt (Salome, Elektra, Der Rosenkavalier). From Elektra’s cataclysm to Rosenkavalier’s waltz-lit tenderness and the valedictory hush of the Four Last Songs, he turned orchestration into psychology.Produced by Selenius Media — Music by The Artificial Laboratory.
