With his matchless musicality and stage charisma, Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti has established himself as one of classical music's brightest stars. Last season she was a soloist with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto. Now she's back again, this time in American jazz musician Wynton Marsali's wonderfully bluesy violin concerto written just for her. 

Richard Strauss had a desire to compose something in the same heroic style as Beethoven's Eroica. He did that in Ein Heldenleben - A Hero's Life. Through the music, we follow Strauss's hero in exploits, out on the battlefield and together with his "life companion" - a portrait of Strauss's own wife - until the inevitable end. The music can be perceived as a depiction of a heroic destiny in general, but the hero of this story is undoubtedly Richard Strauss himself.

The visiting Gothenburg Symphony is led by its chief conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali.

English

Med sin makalösa musikalitet och sceniska karisma har den skotska violinisten Nicola Benedetti etablerat sig som en av den klassiska musikens starkast lysande stjärnor. Förra säsongen var hon solist tillsammans med Kungliga Filharmonikerna i Prokofjevs andra violinkonsert. Nu är hon tillbaka igen, den här gången i den amerikanske jazzmusikern Wynton Marsalis härligt blueskryddade violinkonsert skriven direkt för henne. 

Richard Strauss hade en önskan att komponera något i samma heroiska stil som Beethovens Eroica. Det gjorde han i Ein Heldenleben – Ett hjälteliv. Genom musiken följer vi Strauss hjälte i bragder, ute på slagfältet och tillsammans med sin ”livsledsagarinna” – ett porträtt av Strauss egen hustru – fram till det oundvikliga slutet. Musiken kan uppfattas som en skildring av ett heroiskt livsöde i allmänhet, men hjälten i den här berättelsen är utan tvivel Richard Strauss själv.

Gästande Göteborgs Symfoniker leds av sin chefdirigent Santtu-Matias Rouvali.
