| "Orpheus" - symphonic poem for piano solo (extract) | ||||||||
| played by the composer | ||||||||
| Orpheus is the myth of recovery through death. Music is the medium by which stones are softened, abysses are opened, glances are given soul - by taking hold of and by tugging the heart strings. Orpheus has softened stones, hearts of stone. He has opened the Underworld. Which love does he wish to free? An allegory, a woman, Music? He is able to make his wish come true, and does not lose Eurydice forever, but wins her back. | program text |
