György Ligeti: Lontano (Prom 28)
The Italian term ‘lontano’ can be translated as ‘far away’ or ‘distant’. 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).
