Music reviews of Beethoven: Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus

Music Review: Mythology's inspiring power : a decisive driving force of the vital cycle in Beethoven!
Rating: 5 Stars

One should not to amaze oneself Beethoven had dedicated part of his creative powers in order to challenge the appropriate music for Prometheus. It's well known the profound admiration Beethoven felt for the mythology. It's not a secret the main books set in the upper end of his bed were The Iliad and the Odyssey. It would not be fair to forget that Richard Wagner and Jean Sibelius were strongly inspired by the mythology, in its broad sense.

With the only exception of Fidelio, The creatures of Prometheus is his most extensive stage work during the late 1800 and early 1801. The creative idea for the ballet was proposed by Salvatore Vigano , a Neapolitan dancer and choreographer.

Most of people remind the Overture, but the key clue resides in the fact that the main theme of the last movement is one of the variations of his Third Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" and the main theme of the Piano variations, Op. 35, composed in 1802.

Prometheus comes from that period of Beethoven which carves in relief a new implosion along Beethoven' style. It's a cornerstone in that visible transient period. You can perceive it through the evolution between his Second and Third piano Concertos, the creation of this titanic Symphony No. 3 and the undeniable evolution stylistic of his chamber works, in what many have stated as his heroic period.

Charles MacKerras makes an inspired performance with the Scotish Chamber Orchestra, so keeping into account the few available options in the market, I really recommend this one, without hesitation.

In case you have a vynil recording from the early seventies (as I do) with the Berlin Symphony conducted by Hans Hobert Schoenzeller, from VOX label, try to make a transfer as soon as you can, because while the Vox management be aware of such treasured record.
