Our Take

In their latest release, the National Orch of Belgium takes on Richard Strauss with a gusto that would make even the composer himself raise an eyebrow. The album kicks off with "Burleske," a playful and energetic piece that showcases the orchestra's impeccable precision and dynamic range. From the lilting woodwinds to the thunderous brass, every section of the orchestra shines in this lively and entertaining performance.

But it's in "Ein Heldenleben" where the National Orch of Belgium truly flexes their musical muscle. This sprawling and ambitious tone poem takes listeners on a journey through the hero's trials and triumphs, with the orchestra expertly weaving together swirling strings, triumphant brass fanfares, and delicate woodwind solos. Conductor WE leads the orchestra with an assured hand, guiding them through Strauss's complex and demanding score with confidence and flair.

Overall, this album is a triumph for the National Orch of Belgium, showcasing their exceptional talent and versatility. Whether you're a die-hard classical music fan or just looking to expand your musical horizons, this album is a must-listen. So grab your headphones, press play, and let the music of Richard Strauss transport you to another world.
