The I'm Addicted To Richard Strauss Thread
This thread is for all of you who love Richard Strauss' music. If you don't like his music, then please state why.
I regard Richard Strauss as one of the finest composers of all-time. His music has inspired many and will continue to do so. His symphonic poems and concerti are simply outstanding. Also his orchestration is just unbelievable.
If you enjoy his music, then this is the place to come.
