For his orchestral rollercoaster ride
‘A Hero’s Life’, Richard Strauss cast
around for a heroic figure to depict,
and settled on someone pretty close to
home – himself. This excitable musical
autobiography brims with panache but
matures to a place of noble reflection. If
Strauss’s piece is a humbling glimpse of
life’s journey, so too is Beethoven’s third
Piano Concerto, created during the
agonising early stages of his
deafness but resounding nonetheless in
its own heroism and defiance.
