Ein Heldenleben
Album by Richard Strauss & Herbert Blomstedt & Staatskapelle Dresden
Ein Heldenleben is a tone poem by the German composer Richard Strauss, composed in 1898. The large-scale orchestral work features expansive late-Romantic orchestration, extended thematic transformation and autobiographical references, and it sits in Strauss's middle-period output as a representative example of late-19th-century orchestral writing.
