Strauss is definitely one of the greats. I should spend more time listening to these classics.

I spent yesterday listening to Callas, "Norma"...but while I was doing that I took some biographical notes on Strauss.


I plan to post an OP on his involvement with Hitler.....i think you will find it interesting.
