      War Richard Strauss der strahlendste Komponist des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts oder ein bürgerlicher Künstler und Nazi-Sympathisant? Seit seinem Tod 1949 bleibt Strauss in der musikalischen und historischen Kritik schwer fassbar. Der kanadische Musiker Glenn Gould bezeichnete ihn als die "größte musikalische Figur" seiner Zeit, während andere ihn als Künstler kritisieren, der von seinen vergangenen Erfolgen lebte.
