Ein Heldenleben / Tod und Verklärung
Album by Richard Strauss & Tonhalle‐Orchester Zürich & David Zinman
Ein Heldenleben and Tod und Verklärung are orchestral tone poems by German composer Richard Strauss, composed in 1898 and 1889 respectively. Both works exemplify late-Romantic orchestral writing with expansive orchestration, programme-driven structures and vivid thematic development, and occupy a significant place in Strauss's output as large-scale tone poems that bridge nineteenth-century Romanticism and early twentieth-century orchestral technique.
