Description:
Filled with the tension of a Hitchcock film, Husa's 1969 work captures strife and heartbreak [with] ominous timpani, warlike snare drums, toxic trumpets and a chilling, robotic, cacophonous climax, all combined to weave a disturbing but mesmerizing and riveting spell. By the time of its Prague premiere, this opus had seen as many as seven thousand performances virtually all over the world. Karel Husa thus returned to Prague's concert life after more than forty years in exile. Version for Orchestra.
