Description
In 1850, on the occasion of a gala performance of ‘Der Entfesselte Prometheus’ by Herder at the Weimar court theatre, Liszt wrote not only several choral pieces but also an overture which he revised into the Symphonic Poem No. 5 in 1855. Later he arranged the work for 2 pianos and piano duet. The renowned organist and composer Jean Guillou has now arranged this wonderfully dramatic music for the organ. Initially published in France in 1985, the piece is now presented by Schott in a fully reset version, with only a few changes added by the composer.
