Even gods have relationship stress from time to time: Deidamia, the daughter of King Lykomedes, is abandoned by Achilles, who is revered as a godlike hero. This naturally enrages her, she vacillates between the hopeless pain of parting and furious rebellion. Ludwig van Beethoven brought this scene into concert form in 1796 .He turned the text by the imperial court poet Pietro Metastasio into an exciting concert aria in which Deidamia's conflicting feelings are channeled into musical paths. Completely different Beethoven's Ninth. It's not about gods, it's about divine sparks. And in this epochal work with the great choral finale, they keep jumping over and over again. "Joy, beautiful spark of the gods" it says, that might have eased Deidamia's lovesickness. But Beethoven is of course about the big picture: love, humanity, brotherhood and freedom. Core values ​​that are more important than ever in these times.
