○ Introduction to the work
After his "Till Eulenspiegel," Richard Strauss drew inspiration from literary models a few more times: in 1896, he completed "Also sprach Zarathustra," probably the first tone poem based on a work of philosophy. With "Don Quixote" (1897), he again took on a figure from the narrative world literature. Strauss then followed a more general poetic idea: the notion of the hero - the free man caught up in the struggles of existence, who must confront hostility, bring his works into the world, complete himself. The work bears clear autobiographical traits - demonstrable in the second half, in which themes from other tone poems by Strauss are echoed. The "Heldenleben" is the tonal balance of the artist's own fate, which an admirer of Strauss, the French writer Romain Rolland, compared to the imaginary hero of Beethoven's "Eroica": "The old, revolutionary features have disappeared, and like the outer world, the hero's enemies [...] occupy a large space [...]. There is further in the 'Heldenleben' a scourging contempt, an evil laughter, such as we never find in Beethoven. Little goodness." The hero reveals himself in the powerfully sweeping E-flat major theme; in the counterpart, "Des Helden Gefährtin," (the hero's companion) Strauss's wife Pauline Strauss-de Ahna is meant - in the form of the soulful solo violin, which unites with the hero in a duet. Beforehand, however, "Des Helden Widersacher" (the hero's adversaries) appear like a caricature: know-it-all gentlemen of criticism with pointed, unattractive, "buzzing" (according to the score) contributions that displace the hero's theme in the bass. The "flight from the world" becomes a spiritual exaltation - represented with a quotation from "Also sprach Zarathustra".

The BEST rendition on youtube! The Hero's Battlefield is so epic!
Vor zwei Nächten hörte ich dieses wunderbare Stück von Strauss, das vielleicht zu den schönsten des gesamten spätromantischen symphonischen Repertoires gehört, eine Art Traum und Lebensweg in Musik übersetzt. Maestro Cristian Măcelaru dirigiert mit Leidenschaft und Gefühl, das sieht man an seinem ausdrucksstarken Gesicht. Auch heute Abend erhaschte ich einen Blick auf Miss Leonie Brockmann, die schöne Piccolo-Lehrerin, eine wirklich faszinierende und charmante Frau. Ich verfolge alle Konzerte Ihres talentierten Orchesters. Danke für die Emotionen, die du mir gibst.
Ein Wahnsinns-Tempo, gepaart mit Spielfreude und Brillianz. Dem Strauss hätte das bestimmt gefallen.
Vielen Dank für die netten Worte. ❤
Bravo Přemysl and José. The ending “love duet” was gorgeous!!
Wow I don´t have the words. Top notch performance. Musical beyond my musical wildest expectations. This is insanely good. Bravo!
Thank you very much! ❤
I love this symphonic poem! This is one of the best!

The actual upload is excellent. Generally, the balance within the orchestra is good, Many thanks for the posting.
Quelle belle interprétation emplit d'intelligence de clarté et de respiration.
J'adore cette œuvre de Strauss que j'ai écouté des centaines de fois dans diverses interprétations et je trouve exceptionnelle pour une version moderne.
Je ne connaissais pas ce chef que je trouve hors du commun.
Merci pour ce moment de grâce.
Le chef - Cristian Macelaru (Romanian) - il est aussi le chef d'Orchestre National de France (ruclips.net/video/SypF8TzPxLk/видео.html - voici un autre merveille musicale de l'ONF, Macelaru et le violoniste Augustin Hadelich)
Cuando escucho a la wdrso pienso que es la más imponente y excelsa orquesta sinfónica de nuestro tiempo, y esta grabación con el señor Macelaru me lo demuestra.
Muchas gracias!
Top of the game. Very well played. Great Sound.
Excellente prestation, beaucoup de classe.
Increíble cómo suena la wdrso!!!! Bravo Macelaru, bravo wdrso!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Y también Blumenschein 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Imprpressive heroic orchestral and conductor performance.
Heroic performance. Breathtakingly good!!
Thank you very much! 🤗
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses ein bisschen megalomanischen doch perfekt komponierten Tongedichts mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Die Virtuosität des Konzertmeisters ist echt ergreifend. Der geniale Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Einfach wundervoll!
Vielen Dank für das liebe Feedback. ❤
Das bedeutet uns sehr viel.
Awesomely beautiful performance!
Thanks.
Nice to hear that you enjoyed it.
Ein Meisterstuck !
Das Orchester klingt wunderschoen .
Ich könnte dieser Dirigent nicht.Er ist so aussergewoenlich mit einem seltenen Talent une tritt in die Fusssstapfen auf S Celibidache.
Viele liebe Danke für diese Aufnahme.
Gerne ;)
Schön, dass es Ihnen gefällt.
Dankeschön! 😊
Es freut uns, dass Ihnen unsere Musik gefällt.
Fantastic
Thanks!
Thank you for Beautiful orchestra and execution but the TV direction is very very bad!!!
How is this video? The principal in this video horn is in the BRSO.
6:31 is that a wagner quote (Siegfried) ?

Admittedly, some parts of this are played a little faster than we may normally hear, but the conductor appears to be on a weight-loss program as he expends a huge amount of energy in obtaining the small increase in some of the tempi. However, no complaint, as he achieves an excellent performance (I always feel for the orchestra leader.while watching a performance of Heldenleben, as he or she needs to be able to play at a solo recital standard with some of the interludes). This is glorious music, one can wallow in portions of it, and I find myself enjoying it a great deal. I've only discovered the WDR orchestra recently - is it a recent addition to RUclips? Whatever, I'm impressed with the standard of their videos. Thank you, except for one complaint:- why must the audience reaction get severely curtailed-, and not only with this release? It's enjoyable to hear that reaction, it's almost a part of the performance.
Thanks! Our RUclips chanel exists since 2019, so not that recent. Greetings from Cologne :)
@@WDRKlassik Thank you - and greetings from Melbourne, Australie. I don't know how I've missed your channel up to now, but it's been my loss. This makes two German orchestras that I like and place ahead of the Berlin ensemble. That group, of course, is very good, but has a polish that veers toward being plastic or manufactured, a problem not found here -- just good, responsive and disciplined musicianship.
