Richard Strauss: Ein Heldenleben/Der Rosenkavalier Suite

The programme features music by Richard Strauss: the concert suite from 'Der Rosenkavalier' and 'Ein Heldenleben'. The tone poem 'Ein Heldenleben' tells the epic story of an imaginary hero and offers a stirring introduction to the world of the German Romantics. Strauss demands uncompromising virtuosity from both the orchestra and the horn player who is tasked with portraying the bold hero. Closing the recording is the 'Concert Suite' from 'Der Rosenkavalier' in which Strauss's colourful and evocative orchestration recalls many favourite moments from his most popular opera.
