Tag: Also sprach Zarathustra

Yesterday was the birthday of Richard Strauss, but I had another party to attend, and after an afternoon of carbs, sugar, and heat, I was more fit for a nap than “Also sprach Zarathustra.” I always thought the younger Richard Dreyfuss bore an uncanny resemblance to Strauss. Not so much now. Mr. Holland’s “opus” would have been that much more satisfying had the music sounded like “Ein Heldenleben.”
