Performance on 3

on BBC Radio 3

Tom Service introduces a concert recorded last week at St David's Hall in Cardiff. Andreas Haefliger is the soloist Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto, a work whose first performance was given by the composer himself. And Strauss's tone poem Ein Heldenleben (A Hero's Life) is often considered an autobiographical work, portraying the composer as the hero battling against his critics, but was Strauss's tongue set firmly in his cheek?
