"After a pause for breath, Strauss' Ein Heldenleben  [with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra] blew away the post-Stalin storm clouds with all the macho swagger one could hope for..[...]..The lusciously lavish orchestral writing was realised with a gleaming glow and the hero's battle with his critics was suitably monumental. Chauhan paced the dying light of the coda to perfection, the world-weary hero taking his leave from life with quietly stately dignity."
