Giuseppe Sinopoli - Dreampaths of Music - Two Eyes of Horus (Schoenberg Verklarte Nacht / Richard Strauss Metamorphosen)

Description

Giuseppe Sinopoli was principal conductor of the internationally acclaimed Dresden Staatskapelle. An avid archeologist, he was fascinated with all things Egyptian and set out to create a program that combined his passion for the music of Western Europe with the art and philosophy of Pharaonic Egypt. "The Two Eyes of Horus" interweaves location footage from Egypt, with Schoenberg's "Verklarte Nacht" and Richard Strauss's "Metamorphosen." Sinopoli utilizes the two famous pieces for string orchestra to celebrate the majesty and myths of the ancient Egyptian world.

Disgusting.......2005-08-02

This is without doubt the worst music video I have ever encountered. The description given in the "Editorial Review" is completely misleading. Instead of a performance of the two works listed with, perhaps, visuals of Egypt, we have the pieces used as BACKGROUND music for a lecture on Egyptology. If your interest is to hear uninterrupted performances of this music, you will not find that here.
