Roland Hermann - Prometheus - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

What Carl Orff created with the Prometheus score is neither an opera in the traditional sense nor an oratorio, but also not a play with music or even InchauthenticInch classical tragedy far more is it an extremely individual musical interpretation of Aeschylus's tragedy that concentrates primarily on the symbolic imagery of the scenes, which - as Orff himself said - Inchis accentuated and visualized by the musicInch and the spectator and hearer thereby enlightened. Sung in Ancient Greek, the booklet contains a plot synopsis in English and German language plus liner notes. Album Tracks 1. Prometheus, Nach Aischylos in Altgriechischer Sprache 2.
