Description:

With its jarring sounds and ornate, overly complex orchestration, Richard Strauss (18641949) is a composer whose grandiose music tends to divide listeners. However, the elegant chamber music works included herecomposed from his teens through his late twentieswill surely help to reshape that image. This series of works was composed with Mozart and Beethovenwhom his father deeply admiredas models; in particular, the Piano Trio No. 1, written when he was just 13, is brimming with sparkling creativity and lyricism. Yet what makes him truly remarkable is that he did not simply grow older in a conventional manner. His Arabian Dance, composed in 1893, is strikingly reminiscent of The Dance of the Seven Veils, while Little Love Song hints at a complicated love triangle.Naxos Japan
