Ein Heldenleben / Tod und Verklärung
Album by Richard Strauss & The Cleveland Orchestra & Vladimir Ashkenazy
This release pairs two orchestral tone poems by German composer Richard Strauss, completed in 1890 and 1898. They feature expansive late-Romantic orchestration, programme-driven thematic ideas and advanced harmonic language, and they mark a pivotal stage in Strauss's development toward large-scale orchestral forms that influenced later orchestral writing.
First released: 22nd February 2000
