Description
The Scarlet Flower is a typically conceptual work in which the music and literary source stand on equal footing as two of a number of components. ‘The transformation of the beast into a prince is no longer the significant issue here: what is far darker is the interplay which can ensue between beauty and evil with the result that the price of the beauty of a flower is the loss of a human life.’ (Victor Ekimovsky)
