Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche, op. 28 / Ein Heldenleben, op. 40
Album by Richard Strauss & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim
This release is a recording of orchestral tone poems by Richard Strauss, composed in 1894–1895 and 1898. Musically the pieces showcase late-Romantic orchestration and programme-driven structure, featuring expansive symphonic forms, vivid orchestral colour, advanced chromaticism and dramatic thematic characterisation that situate them at a pivotal point in Strauss's development as a leading tone-poet of the turn of the century.
First released: 1991
