R Strauss Der Krämerspiegel op 66
With text by German literary critic Alfred Kerr, the cycle was created in response to the composer being ordered to produce a set of songs at his publisher’s insistence. The resulting composition is a biting commentary on the people and places that Strauss hated the most.
