| Summary: | For millennia, the mythological figure of Prometheus--who stole fire from the gods to give it to man--has fascinated artists of all stripes. In 1993, Claudio Abbado's led the Berlin Philharmonic in Prometeo, a highly unusual and fascinating concert program exploring some of the brilliant musical interpretations of the ancient myth. For a revolutionary like Beethoven, Prometheus was a archetypical champion of freedom of thought and rebellion against repression, and he would honor him in 1801 with music for the ballet Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus ("The Creatures of Prometheus"). Written fifty years later, Franz Liszt's symphonic poem depicts Prometheus's capture, horrible punishment inflicted on him by Zeus, and ultimate liberation. In 1910, Alexander Scriabin composed Prometheus: The Poem of Fire as a means of exploring theosophic themes like the creative principle, will, reason, and cosmic creative force. A mix between Liszt's symphonic poem and a Piano Concerto, Scriabin's single-movement work is based on a "mystic chord" related to dodecaphonic music. Equally seduced by Prometheus's tale, Luigi Nono (1924-1990) composed a score based on a libretto inspired by authors as varied as Eschyle, Walter Benjamin, and Rainer Maria Rilke that was ultimately premiered in 1984 in Venice |

In 1993, Claudio Abbado's led the Berlin Philharmonic in Prometeo, a highly unusual and fascinating concert program exploring some of the brilliant musical interpretations of the ancient myth. For a revolutionary like Beethoven, Prometheus was a archetypical champion of freedom of thought and rebellion against repression, and he would honor him in 1801 with music for the ballet Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus ("The Creatures of Prometheus"). Written fifty years later, Franz Liszt's symphonic poem depicts Prometheus's capture, horrible punishment inflicted on him by Zeus, and ultimate liberation. In 1910, Alexander Scriabin composed Prometheus: The Poem of Fire as a means of exploring theosophic themes like the creative principle, will, reason, and cosmic creative force. A mix between Liszt's symphonic poem and a Piano Concerto, Scriabin's single-movement work is based on a "mystic chord" related to dodecaphonic music. Equally seduced by Prometheus's tale, Luigi Nono (1924-1990) composed a score based on a libretto inspired by authors as varied as Eschyle, Walter Benjamin, and Rainer Maria Rilke that was ultimately premiered in 1984 in Venice Symphonic poems Orchestral music Operas Excerpts Ballets Excerpts concert Prometheus / (Greek deity) / Songs and music Prometheus / (Greek deity) Songs and music Songs Filmed performances Dramatic music Dance music Art music Internet videos Swann, Christopher Sonstige oth Ade-Jesemann, Ingrid Sonstige oth Bair-Ivenz, Monika Sonstige oth Argerich, Martha 1941- Sonstige oth Krumbiegel, Ulrike Sonstige oth Schadock, Mathias Sonstige oth Abbado, Claudio Sonstige oth Beethoven, Ludwig van 1770-1827 Geschöpfe des Prometheus Tempesta Beethoven, Ludwig van 1770-1827 Geschöpfe des Prometheus Poco adagio Beethoven, Ludwig van 1770-1827 Geschöpfe des Prometheus Adagio (No. 9) Beethoven, Ludwig van 1770-1827 Geschöpfe des Prometheus Pastorale Liszt, Franz 1811-1886 Prometheus (Symphonic poem) Scriabin, Aleksandr Nikolayevich 1872-1915 Prométhée Nono, Luigi Prometeo Hölderlin Berliner Philharmoniker Sonstige oth Brilliant mediaGmbH, Videal Sony Classical GmbH, Hamburg Sonstige oth https://edu.medici.tv/en/concerts/prometheus-claudio-abbado-berliner-philharmoniker-martha-argerich Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext digital rdatr video file rdaft |
