Description
This recording is the first in a new series with Thomas Søndergård and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. The programme features music by Richard Strauss: the concert suite from Der Rosenkavalier and Ein Heldenleben, a work they have performed together in concert to critical acclaim. The tone poem tells the epic story of an imaginary hero and offers a stirring introduction to the world of the German Romantics. Strauss demands uncompromising virtuosity from both the orchestra and the horn player who is tasked with portraying the bold hero. Following a concert performance of Ein Heldenleben in March 2018 The Scotsman stated: From the swaggering confidence of Strauss's bounding heroic theme to the gleefully grotesque carpings of his critics, Søndergård delivered a bold, utterly committed account - this is clearly music that matters to him." Closing the recording is the concert suite from Der Rosenkavalier in which Strauss's colourful and evocative orchestration recalls many favourite moments from his most popular opera."
