Schumann Phil/Beerman - Goldmark: Prometheus Overture

Today this Hungarian composer continues to be known to a broader pubic only for his violin concerto and the opera The Queen of Sheba (soon to be released on CPO). During his lifetime he was celebrated for his instrumentation artistry, refined use of elements from folk music, and highly developed talent for melodic invention, all of which are crystallized in one of his lesser known works: Overture to the Prometheus Bound of Aeschylus.
