The title Ikaros refers to the poem by the Swedish poet Erik Lindegren, which - in the German translation by Nelly Sachs - accompanied me during the composition. Not as a program, but quasi as a corresponding partner, as an ambiguous mirror of composing today, of our utopian existence.(Friedhelm Dohl)CD:Basler Sinfonieorchester, cond.
