Ein Heldenleben, Op. 40, (literally A Heroic Life, but usually more loosely translated as A Hero's Life) is a tone poem by Richard Strauss. The work was completed in 1898, and heralds the composer’s more mature period in this genre. Strauss dedicated the piece to the 27-year old Willem Mengelberg and the Concertgebouw Orchestra, although it was premiered by the Frankfurter Museumsorchester.

Variations on an Original Theme for orchestra, Op. 36 (Enigma), commonly referred to as the Enigma Variations, is a set of a theme and its fourteen variations written for orchestra by Edward Elgar in 1898–1899. It is Elgar's best-known large-scale composition, for both the music itself and the enigmas behind it. Elgar dedicated the piece to my friends pictured within, each variation being an affectionate portrayal of one of his circle of close acquaintances.

The recordings on this disc by Bernard Haitink date back from the late seventies (Ein Heldenleben (1970), Enigma (1973)) and were re-released in Philips' Silver Line Classics series. A must-have for fans of Haitink and the RCO. Enjoy!
