Thomas DausgaardAbout
The music for the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus is Beethoven's only extensive contribution to the genre. The theme in the finale reoccurs in many later works, most notably in the 'Eroica' symphony. The two sets of dances recorded here form part of a tradition of popular dance music to which Haydn, Mozart and Schubert also contributed.
Thomas Dausgaard is Chief Conductor of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, and regularly appears as guest conductor with the leading orchestras throughout Europe, North America and the Far East. He has more recently made his debut with both the London Symphony Orchestra and Munich Philharmonic.
Amongst many accolades received for the series, the performance of the Triple Concerto on Volume 5 (PSC1183), which featured pianist Boris Berezovsky, was chosen as a “Building a Library” choice on BBC Radio 3’s CD Review programme.
