| Description: | Much has been written about Beethovenâ??s only opera, Fidelio, formerly Leonore. Beethoven worked on
it on and off for almost a decade. During that time the four different overtures included on this recording
were composed. They are substantially different, not only in length but also in themes, while the Fidelio
Overture is composed in a different key and uses no material from the opera itself. The Ruins of Athens is
a set of incidental music pieces composed for the opening of the Deutsches Theater in todayâ??s Budapest.
Even though only the Turkish March is often heard today, many listeners may be familiar rather with Lisztâ??s
fantasia for piano and orchestra on themes of this score. - .. INCIDENTAL MUSICMuch has been written about Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio, formerly Leonore.

Stanislaw Skrowaczewski began to play the piano and the violin at the age of four, composed his first symphonic work at seven, gave his first public piano recital when he was eleven and went on to become one of the best known conductors in the world. He conducted several Polish orchestras before emigrating to the US where he was chief conductor of many leading orchestras. On the present recording he leads the GRAMMY Award-winning Minnesota Orchestra. The recordings of American orchestras produced for VOX by the legendary Elite Recordings team of Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz are considered by audiophiles to be among the very finest sounding orchestral recordings ever made. |
