Description
What Carl Orff created with his Prometheus score is neither an opera in the traditional sense, nor an oratorio, nor a play with music, not even ?authentic? classical tragedy. Rather, it?s an extremely individual musical interpretation of Aeschylus? tragedy that concentrates primarily on the symbolic imagery of the scenes, which ? as Orff himself said ? ?is accentuated and visualised by the music?, thereby enlightening the spectator and the listener.
?No question about it ? of all the celebrations accorded to Carl Orff in Munich following his 80th birthday on 10 July [1975], this was the most splendid: the concert performance of his Prometheus under Rafael Kubelik within the framework of Musica Viva.? (Karl-Heinz Ruppel, Suddeutsche Zeitung)
Sung in Ancient Greek, the booklet contains a synopsis of the plot in English and German, plus liner notes.
