Gy枚rgy Ligeti: Lontano (Prom 28)
The Italian term 鈥榣ontano鈥� can be translated as 鈥榝ar away鈥� or 鈥榙istant鈥�. It describes the style in which the work is performed. Composed in 1967, this composition for large orchestra depicts the opening and closing of 'a window on long submerged dream worlds of childhood' (Ligeti).
