Who is the hero of Strauss's mighty tone poem Ein Heldenleben (A Hero's Life)? Is it Strauss himself? Or someone else? No matter. The score is replete with opulent sounds, glowing orchestration, huge climaxes, enormous energy and a veritable kaleidoscope of tonal colors. This Discovery concert offers also a deep contrast between this eruptive music and the tenderness of Chopin's First Piano Concerto, featuring pianist Javier Perianes.
