- A technical and musical challenge for organists

Zsigmond Szathmry
(b. 1939), the internationally-known concert organist, has reworked the music of this symphonic poem to create a new work which puts the sound possibilities of the concert organ fully to the test. In the process, a virtuosic work has been created, a technical and musical challenge for organists and a guaranteed treat for audiences. Tonally expressive dimensions coupled with unheard-of virtuosity, rejoiced one music critic after the performance.
