description
The Four Last Songs of Richard Strauss, more than any other work, sum up the end of their era – that of romanticism, and the end of the old Germany (the decent, cultured Germany destroyed by the Nazi regime) that Strauss had made his name in. There is an unmistakably valedictory air, and although the songs were not intended to be published as a group (or indeed under the title of Four Last Songs), they were the final works of the composer. He had exiled himself to Switzerland after the war, and lived in reduced circumstances, suffering from the connections he had with the Nazis – although he had been denazified. His royalties had been frozen, and there was a reluctance to perform his music worldwide.
