Product Description

Immerse yourself in the ancient Mesopotamian tale of Gilgamesh through the evocative compositions of Bohuslav Martinů. Released on October 20, 2017, by SUPRAPHON a.s., "Martinů: The Epic of Gilgamesh" is a captivating chamber music and neoclassical album that spans 51 minutes of profound storytelling. The album is divided into three parts, each delving into different segments of the epic poem. "The Epic of Gilgamesh, Pt. 1: Tablets Nos. 1& 2" sets the stage with the initial encounters and adventures of the legendary king. "The Epic of Gilgamesh, Pt. 2: The Death of Enkidu" explores the poignant loss and grief that shape Gilgamesh's journey. Finally, "The Epic of Gilgamesh, Pt. 3: Invocation" concludes the narrative with a reflective and introspective tone. Martinů's masterful composition brings to life the timeless themes of friendship, mortality, and the quest for immortality, making this album a compelling listen for both classical music enthusiasts and those interested in ancient literature.
