Ein Heldenleben

Available for over a year

From the beginning, Ein Heldenleben (literally a Hero’s Life) does not disappoint. The ascending surge from the strings and horns catapults you into the centre of the protagonist’s adventures. The music is highly romantic, encapsulating a man’s life in 6 contrasting movements. Composer: Richard Strauss Performers: BBC Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Semyon Bychkov Recording date: 08 August 2012 Date of broadcast: 08 August 2012
