Verity Sharp presents the Oboe Concerto - late, post-War Strauss - and a work from the end of the previous century. In the tone poem Ein Heldenleben (A Hero's Life) Strauss outraged his critics by making himself its hero. Ein Heldenleben was dedicated to the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam and its conductor Willem Mengelberg. Strauss had been impressed by what was then, and still very much is, one of the world's great orchestras. Today's performance of this orchestral tour de force is played by them and their current Chief Conductor Mariss Jansons, recorded at a special concert celebrating their 125-year anniversary

Plus music from Strauss's conducting repertoire: Mozart's 'Jupiter' Symphony and the Prelude to Act 1 from Wagner's Parsifal.
