 Richard Strauss, Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 (1896)
Also sprach Zarathustra, which offers mankind "not the Joy of Life (for there is no such thing), but the Fullness of Life, in the joy of the senses, in the triumphant exuberance of vitality," is a work of the imagination.
It's true also that the seed of one element in Nazism can be traced in Nietzsche's radical rejection of the Christian ethos—of mercy and compassion, and the exaltation of the meek—in favor of a hard-edged, clear-eyed, ecstatically arrogant confrontation of the mysteries of the universe.
When Zarathustra was thirty years old, he left his home and the lake of his home, and went into the mountains.

Friedrich Nietzsche’s Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus spake Zarathustra) would seem an unlikely work on which to base a musical composition.
Richard Strauss was born on June 11, 1864, in Munich; he died on September 8, 1949, at his villa in the Bavarian town of Garmish-Partenkirchen.
Putting this theory into practice, Strauss proceeded to use literary programs as the basis for a number of tone poems he composed in the late 1880s and throughout the 1890s.

Perhaps Boulez could have done better had Zarathustra been paired with the complete Mahler Second: Strauss himself acknowledged his debt to Mahler when composing his Nietzschean extravaganza, and the opportunity of putting both works together might have inspired Boulez to take a more positive approach to each.
Pierre Boulez never has shown any particular affinity for the music of Richard Strauss, and now we know why.
