From a characteristic single-movement symphonic poem evolved from the concert-overture (Prometheus); via a suggestion of literature (Hamlet) or natural sequence of legends (Orpheus), to a painting (Battle of the Huns), or depiction of motherland (Hungaria), Praga Digitals present five great Romantic orchestral pictures using thematic transformation to depict poetic emotion.
