Composer:
Richard Strauss

Artist(s):
Hanny Steffek
Hermann Prey

Conductor:
Joseph Keilberth

Background: If singers loved working with Joseph Keilberth, it was because he brought to all his opera performances a deep knowledge of the work in question, a stick technique that left them in no doubt as to his intentions and a highly considerate musical sensitivity.

Even in luxuriantly scored works he never lost his ability to ensure a perfect balance between stage and pit. These were ideal conditions for a work like Richard Strauss's 'bourgeois comedy', Intermezzo, for which the composer wrote his own libretto - only the second time that he had done so since the failure of his first opera, Guntram, 30 years earlier.
