Album Description
1990 Marco-Polo1990 Marco-Polo
Immerse yourself in the ancient epic of Gilgamesh, reimagined through the masterful composition of Bohuslav Martinů. Released on October 11, 1990, under the Marco-Polo label, "Martinu: Epic of Gilgamesh" is a captivating journey through chamber music and neoclassical genres, spanning a concise yet profound 55 minutes.
This album is a testament to Martinů's ability to blend historical narrative with musical innovation. The epic is divided into three parts, each exploring different facets of the timeless story. From the poignant "Death of Enkidu" to the reflective "Invocation," Martinů's composition is a symphony of human emotion and divine introspection. The album features a rich tapestry of vocal and instrumental performances, including solos for bass, tenor, soprano, and baritone, as well as choral arrangements that add depth and resonance to the narrative.
The tracklist is a journey through the epic, with each piece contributing to the overarching story. From the hauntingly beautiful "Gilgames, kam chvata?" to the powerful "Enlile, muj otce!", Martinů's music brings the ancient text to life in a way that is both accessible and profound. Whether you're a fan of chamber music, neoclassical compositions, or simply appreciate the art of storytelling through music, "Martinu: Epic of Gilgamesh" is an album that will leave a lasting impression.
