"Orchestral Choice ... a recording that has you on the edge of your seat ... Petrou keeps the music moving so that you can easily imagine it being danced."
- BBC Music Magazine
Beethoven wrote his only ballet score in 1801, between his First and Second symphonies; the theme from the overture provided the subject for the finale of the Eroica Symphony and Eroica Variations. Based on the Greek fire-stealing myth, the story of The Creatures of Prometheus is conveyed with music full of drama and verve, interpreted on this 2014 release by Armonia Atenea playing period instruments conducted by its Artistic Director George Petrou. Armonia Atenea is the new international name of the Athens Camerata, founded in 1991 with the inauguration of the Megaron, the Athens Concert Hall.
