Ein Heldenleben
Album by Richard Strauss & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan
Ein Heldenleben is a tone poem by German composer Richard Strauss, composed in 1898 and first performed in 1899. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic orchestral composition characterised by colourful, densely layered orchestration, extended leitmotivic development and programme-based, semi-autobiographical elements, and it represents a key point in Strauss's career as he consolidated his approach to the tone poem.
