Sebastian im Traum
Sebastian im Traum (The Dream of Sebastian) is an
.Based on the poem of the same name by
Zurich Tonhalle and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
.
According to Henze:
The music tried to follow the traces of the poet's words (as someone with a movie camera tries to capture the course of events or as another perhaps takes down the communication of subject matter in shorthand) and it has a deep relationship to Salzburg - to the ... temperatures and perfumes, to the rustic Baroque, to the biblical, to the wooden crucifix, to the nearness of death, to the moonlight, to Traklish evening sonatas... we continually hear different characters, new ones always come and go, appear, shine, and disappear.[1]
It was premiered on 22 December 2005 at the Concertgebouw, with
Mahler's Sixth Symphony
on the orchestra's own label.
