ALBUM

Beethoven was commissioned to write his first stage work - a ballet score for Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus - for the dancer and choreographer Salvatore Viganò, nephew of composer Luigi Boccherini. In the myth, Prometheus is punished by Zeus for stealing fire for the benefit of mankind; in the allegorical ballet, Prometheus brings Enlightenment ideas of art and science to humanity. The overture remains popular and the finale - the theme of which Beethoven was later to use in his ‘Eroica’ Symphony - offers a heroic conclusion. © Naxos
