Richard
Strauss (1864–1949),
the composer of
large-scale operas and
tone poems, also wrote
lieder throughout his
life. His entire oeuvre
stretching over a period
of 78 years is framed by
lied compositions: the
Weihnachtslied dating
from December 1870 (the
secondentry in the
chronological catalogue
of Strauss's works) and
the lied Malven written
in November 1948
(StraussÂ’s last
completed composition).
His lied compositions
include lieder with piano
accompaniment, genuine
orchestral lieder and
subsequent
orchestrationsof original
lieder with piano.
Strauss frequently
conducted his own operas
and orchestral works and
also gave public
performances ofhis lieder
both as pianist and
conductor. As was
customary in the concert
practice of the time, he
combined lieder with
larger-scaleworks: it was
not uncommon for tone
poems and lieder to
appear on the same
programme. Music
publishing houses were
active in the
dissemination of Strauss
lieder across the world:
in the first prints, the
early lieder were
published in their
original register, mostly
only with German texts,
but numerous editions
were subsequently issued
for other vocal registers
or with additional texts
in English, later also in
French, Italian and
Russian translations. The
broad spectrum was
rounded off by
arrangements of lieder
(such as purely
instrumental piano
arrangements by Max Reger
and Walter Gieseking),
arrangements and
orchestrations by other
composers andlieder
albums containing
collections of Strauss
lieder not ordered
chronologically according
to their opus numbers.
The fact that Strauss is
to this day one of the
most frequently performed
composers is not only due
to his operas and tone
poems, but also his
lieder, particularly the
most treasured
favourites. A number of
these pieces are
contained in this volume:
