Summary:

"It is entitled 'A Hero's Life, ' and while it has no funeral march, it does have lots of horns, horns being quite the thing to express heroism. Thanks to the healthy country air, my sketch has progressed well." With these words Richard Strauss evoked the connections between his symphonic poem Ein Heldenleben and Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 "Eroica". A great connoisseur of Strauss's oeuvre, Herbert von Karajan tackled the piece in 1985 as part of a series including Don Quixote, Thus spoke Zarathustra, and Death and Transfiguration. The Austrian maestro's authority and mastery express themselves with éclat in this performance featuring his trusted artistic collaborators, the musicians of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
