The hero passes through love and adversity, confrontation, triumph in battle and fulfilment in a single, powerfully descriptive symphonic span. Gerard Schwarz's Ein Heldenleben has been acclaimed as \"exciting and inspired\" (Gramophone). The opera Capriccio is a romantic struggle to choose between words and music which opens with a gloriously bitter-sweet string sextet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Der Held (The Hero) - Des Helden Widersacher (The Hero's Enemies) - Des Helden Gefahrtin (The Hero's Companion) - 00:21:42 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Des Helden Walstatt (The Hero's Field of Battle) - Des Helden Friedenswerke (The Hero's Works of Peace) - Des Helden Weltflucht Und Vollendung (The Hero's Retreat from the World and Fulfilment) 00:22:34 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Capriccio, Op. 85: String Sextet, TRV 279A (Version for String Orchestra) 00:13:22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
