Rejecting academic coolness, Armonia Atenea, under the baton of conductor George Petrou, injects dramatic energy and bright colour to Beethoven’s bold ballet score. Beethoven’s ballet music was written in 1801 (between the First and Second symphonies) and 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, but was the only ballet score that Beethoven wrote. Armonia Atenea & George Petrou’s Decca recording of Handel’s Alessandro has received numerous accolades.
