{"content":"\n    <div class=\"detail-content\">\n        \n        <strong>About work:</strong> <p>The pianist who approaches Sisyfos should be a virtuoso and, like Fredrik Ullén, well-versed in the masters such as Liszt and Bartók (and why not György Ligeti and his Etudes?). Simai has let himself be inspired by mythology. The actor Jiri Voskovec has re-corded a version of the Sisyphus myth, and when Simai heard it he was above all fascinated by the fact that it was the love to a beautiful nymph and a wonderful landscape which gave Sisyphus the strength to roll the heavy stone up the hill again and again. It was therefore not a punishment from the gods; he did it for love. The work was written for the 100th anniversary of Franz Liszt's death, on July 31, 1886.</p><br>\n        <em>(Hans Gunnar Peterson)</em><br>\n        <br>\n        \n\n        <p>\n                <p><strong>First performance in Slovakia</strong></p>\n                \n                \n                28.11.1992,\n                New Slovak Music,\n                Slovak Radio, Studio 2,\n                Bratislava,\n                SK\n\n<br><span class=\"type\">Performers: </span>Sylvia Čápová-Vizváry (pf)\n                <br>\n\n\n            </p>\n    </div>\n"}
