Zusammenfassung:	It was in 1970 that Mickael TilsonThomas made his debut with the London Symphony Orchestra, the same year ad his appointment as associate conductor of the Boston Symphony, after he had found himself making an unexpected New York debut with the previous October, stepping in mid-concert to replace William Steinberg. At the age of only twenty-five, and having already embarked on his prolific recording career with, characteristically, an album of Ives and Ruggles, Tilson Thomas personified the musical wunderkind.

This studio performance was followed up by a more ambitious programme on Ein Heldenleben, filmed live in front of an audience in the orchestra's home at London's Barbican Centre in 1994, featuring the conductor's own engaging and illuminating introduction. Tilson Thomas's BBC music programmes with the LSO did not form part of a regular broadcast series, and the subjects they covered ranged widely, from Gershwin to Rimsky-Korsakov, and Beethoven to Sibelius. When it came to the Heldenleben programme, whatever equivocal noises the composer may have made about the content of the music, it was the autobiographical element that was picked up on.
