Richard Strauss
Strauss's final opera, from 1942, is subtitled "A Conversation Piece for Music." A lighthearted competition between a poet and a composer -- a rivalry of words and music -- for a countess's attention. A recorded performance by the Salzburg Festival, conducted by Christian Thielemann, starring Elsa Dreisig and Bo Skovhus.
