Three extraordinary musical stories. A concert to remember.
Ein Heldenleben means ‘A Hero’s Life’, and Richard Strauss was definitely having a bit of a laugh at the expense of his critics when he painted this huge, absurdly entertaining self-portrait of the artist as superhero. Make no mistake though, it sounds incredible, and with conductor Robin Ticciati bringing all his operatic flair to a specially-expanded LPO, it’s just one of three extraordinary musical stories tonight. Sibelius evokes the Middle Ages, and the superb Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang (‘Inspired’ – The Strad) dances her way through Weimar Berlin in Hindemith’s sardonic Kammermusik – written (he said) to celebrate the birthday of a lion.
