Richard Strauss’s orchestral music includes several works with autobiographical significance, including Ein Heldenleben (Naxos 8.554417). Scored for large symphony orchestra, the Symphonia domestica depicts the joys and worries of married life with Strauss, his wife, child and other family members deftly portrayed in a variety of situations, including a ‘cheerful quarrel’ in which the father has the last word! The Symphonic Fragment from the opera Die Liebe der Danae, based on mythic themes, was arranged by one of Strauss’s great champions, conductor Clemens Krauss.
''This performance was available on the Delos label, coupled with the Josefslegende suite. The re-release substitutes Clemens Krauss’s fantasia from Die Liebe der Danae. Performances of both works are suitably virtuosic and the interpretations very skillful. The recorded sound captures the details that the Domestica has in abundance.'' American Record Guide
