This evocative interpretation of Richard Strauss's EIN HELDENLEBEN was tackled by conductor Mariss Jansons, with the help of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Performed in Amsterdam, Jansons performs while fully aware of the implications of the piece; in 1898, Strauss dedicated the entire piece to the Concertgebouw Orchestra, and it has remained a regular highlight of its performances ever since. This film of the performance stands as an important historical archive of a moving event.
