Richard Strauss: Ein Heldenleben/Don Juan

This live recording is a showcase for the Brussels Philharmonic and its conductor, Kazushi Ono, while giving a rare energy and drive to scores which demand them. The immersive Dolby Atmos recording emphasizes the virtuoso and spectacular side of Strauss' gorgeous orchestration.

Revolutionising the symphonic poem, a genre known for depicting stories through music,Richard Straussinitially draws inspiration from literary and philosophical sources. His works transcended traditional storytelling. Don Juan (1889) marked a pivotal moment, as Strauss shifted from a classical style to a bold, modernist vision. In Ein Heldenleben, Debussy's praise of its 'cinematography' highlights Strauss' ability to capture universal struggles through intricate orchestration. This CD showcases his mastery, inviting you to experience the profound emotional depth and innovative approach that define his legacy.
