The Epic of Gilgamesh

Album by Bohuslav Martinů & Lucy Crowe & Andrew Staples & Derek Welton & Jan Martiník & Simon Callow & Pražský filharmonický sbor & Česká filharmonie & Manfred Honeck

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a cantata by Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, completed in 1955. The work is scored for soloists, chorus and orchestra and is written in Martinů's late modernist style, combining lyrical Czech lines with rhythmic drive and expanded harmonic colour, and it sits within his late vocal-orchestral output that engages ancient subject matter.
