Description

Set against a hushed, forested mountain landscape, the opening of this lyrical drama invites listeners into a summer‑evening where distant flute notes drift through the trees. A modest homestead stands at the edge of the clearing, its porch a meeting place for a family whose voices echo with longing, resentment and unspoken histories. The atmosphere is both tender and tense, as the natural world seems to listen in on the conversations that unfold.

The cast gathers around the patriarch, a prosperous landowner named Massud, his thoughtful daughter Mirza, the restless nephew Rustan, and Zanga, a mysterious servant whose arrival has unsettled the household. Their dialogue weaves together personal grievances, hints of past kindness, and an undercurrent of supernatural unease. As old loyalties clash with new ambitions, listeners are drawn into a richly poetic tableau that balances domestic drama with the larger, almost mythic forces at play.

Franz Grillparzer

1791–1872

A master of Austrian drama, his plays blend classical form with deep feeling, moral conflict, and a quiet sense of tragedy. Long appreciated for works like Sappho and The Golden Fleece, he remains one of the central voices of 19th-century German-language literature.
