About

Die schweigsame Frau premiered in 1935 and represents what is perhaps Strauss’s most virtuosic and technically demanding score, for both the orchestra and for the soloists. This may also be one of the reasons why this turbulent masterpiece is rarely performed today.

With a lavish wealth of musical ideas, and the juxtaposition of light comedy against grand opera, Strauss quotes himself and a dozen other composers in this work. He copies Rossini and spoofs Monteverdi – this is grand farcical fun!
