The last in the line of great, German composers who, took atonality to it's breathtaking extreme with "Elektra' - then turned back - wisely knowing Mozart, Verdi, Gounod, Wagner filled the seats.Music was made for man, not man for music...

How wonderful! Complete coverage of Strauss' life. Some lovely and rare film opera excerpts as well - Rosenkavalier with Wilma Lipp and Irmgard Seefried. Frau ohne Schatten with Jess Thomas. Arabella with Lisa della Casa. Interviews with Hildegard Ranczak (brief clip of her Octavian in 1939 as well!) and Viorica Ursuleac. Would love an HD version of this and release of the full opera productions featured if they still exist.

I cannot believe that Rosenkavalier was booed because the Milanese did not approve of "waltzes in a serious opera house". If so, they should have booed most of early and middle Verdi. What about Gounod?

Not to diminish Strauss as a great composer---he is one of my heroes as a musical master and a man of grace and honor--- however let's suppose he was born today in a backwater town where his parents were poor and knew nothing of music, the town had no one to instruct him, nor help him with any professional contacts, he was a German who wanted to write Italian opera, and the public never really believed he was a great composer because of his quiet manner or because they were envious of him...well, do I need to go further? A great artist, indeed, but it is amazing how the stars were completely aligned in his favor throughout his whole life; right time, right country, from the right family, right breaks, right desire to write what he could gain the recognition he deserved, no obstacles in his way. What an incredible success story that many people cannot attain within their lifetimes.

No offense intended, but you're describing a cards-are-stacked-against-him scenario which fits Gustav Mahler perfectly. Mahler did alright for himself, as I recall.

@msdawg2 7 жыл бұрын

What a joke. Like he could help growing up feet away from Wagner and other giants. How many times is success about being in the right place at the right time? You sound jealous and bitter, and as someone else stated Mahler did pretty well, as did Pablo Caslas.

@sunqt3293 7 жыл бұрын

yes it's a way of seeing things. But a better way is to see all the positive side that helped him, ans all the negative ones too, in order to have a constructive opinion regarding the quantity of luck and the quantity of let's call it self will. To be able to use all those help your environemment can give you can also be seen as a self desire of a man. You will never know what Strauss or anyone else, give as a personal pov to lead a succesfull life (at least in his career); and you will also never know the % of luck environement helped him. Simply because men are complex and free and you can never know what are from his pov, the difficulties and helpfull environement system.

Why did he not do more for Mahler's music? Mahler never heard his 9th symphony nor the "Das Lied".

@huwzosimos8839 7 жыл бұрын

Strauss did a lot for Mahler: he promoted the first two symhonies at a time when Mahler was unkown. Mahler wrote to him in 1895: "You are really the only one of all my colleagues who takes any notice of my works".

@TheStockwell 7 жыл бұрын

No disrespect intended, but Strauss arranged for and conducted Mahler's music when Mahler was a struggling composer and conductor. One Mahler's career took off, he didn't need Strauss to promote his music. After Mahler's death, he had plenty of people conducting and recording his music: Klemperer, Stokowski, Fried, and Bruno Walter. Heck, even Furtwangler was performing Mahler as early as 1912. It's not Strauss' fault that Mahler's music didn't catch on until 1960.

@huwzosimos8839 7 жыл бұрын

TheStockwell You are quite right. I was simply pointing out that Strauss did promote Mahler's music, and indeed continued to perform his symphonies until as late as 1918. however, times were not in Mahler's favour untill 40 years later for a variety of reasons.

@TheStockwell 7 жыл бұрын

They were colleagues but also "friendly" rivals. Mahler conducted Strauss's works when he - Mahler - assumed directorship of the Imperial Opera in Wien/Vienna. At the same time, Mahler was aware that Strauus's works were far more popular than his own. The seemingly visionary quote we keep hearing from Mahler is "My time will come!" The full quote, however, refers to Strauss. In 1902, Mahler wrote to his wife: "My day will come when his is over."

@mirandac8712 6 жыл бұрын

Strauss remarked to Mahler, "I have the sense you and I are boring tunnels at opposite points of the same mountain." Or something like that.
