Шаблон:Short description Ernst Krause (28 May 1911 – 8 August 1997[1]) was a German musicologist and opera critic.

Life

Born in Dresden, Krause studied German and art history at the Goethe University Frankfurt. As a music critic, he first published in the Frankfurter General-Anzeiger. In 1939, he moved to his hometown and worked as a journalist at the Dresdner Nachrichten. From 1945 he was cultural editor for the Sächsische Zeitung. From 1952, Krause worked as a critic for the Tägliche Rundschau, from 1955 for the National-Zeitung and from 1958 for the Sonntag.

In 1955 Krause published his Strauss essay Richard Strauss - Gestalt und Werk[2] (which was translated into six languages) and later Richard Strauss - Der letzte Romantiker. His compendium Opera from A-Z,[3] which has been published in numerous editions, is considered a standard work.

In his books, Krause did not content himself with the life sketches of the composers from 3 ½ centuries, he followed the traces of their work, their place in history and present.

Krause died in Berlin at the age of 76.
