Some consider him a composer of the late romantic period, while others declare him a traitor of modernity for his role in National Socialism. Despite the controversy surrounding him, Strauss's works--even beyond his most well-known operas \u003cem\u003eElektra\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRosenkavalier\u003c\/em\u003e--are present in the repertories of concert halls worldwide and continue to enjoy large audiences. The details of the composer's life, however, remain shrouded in mystery and gossip. Laurenz L�tteken's \u003cem\u003eStrauss\u003c\/em\u003e presents a fresh approach to understanding this elusive composer's life and works. Dispensing with stereotypes and sensationalism, it reveals Strauss to be a sensitive intellectual and representative of modernity, with all light and shade of the turn of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46420714127511,"sku":"9780190605698","price":4888.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190605698.webp?v=1769079055","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/strauss-9780190605698","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
