Described as an &#8220;Opera-Poem: Audiovisual and Catarrah in six parts&#8221; it propels Dal\u00ed&#8217;s megalomania to cosmic proportions with the artist portraying a godlike version of himself. In attendance are an angel and two further Dal\u00eds, the male and female halves of an androgynous avatar with the female component being voiced by the great French actress Delphine Seyrig. The libretto is credited to\u00a0Manuel V\u00e1zquez Montalban. The performance was recorded in 1974 but not released on disc until 1989. Not the best of Wakh\u00e9vitch&#8217;s works at all, you&#8217;re better off with <em>Logos<\/em> or <em>Docteur Faust<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/dalidisc4.jpg\" alt=\"dalidisc4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere on { feuilleton }<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/the-album-covers-archive\/\">The album covers archive<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previously on { feuilleton }<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2011\/10\/24\/soft-self-portrait-of-salvador-dali\/\">Soft Self-Portrait of Salvador Dal\u00ed<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2011\/09\/02\/mongolian-impressions\/\">Mongolian impressions<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2011\/07\/19\/hello-dali\/\">Hello Dali!<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2011\/04\/05\/dali-and-the-city\/\">Dal\u00ed and the City<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2010\/08\/02\/dalis-elephant\/\">Dal\u00ed\u2019s Elephant<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2009\/11\/10\/dali-in-wonderland\/\">Dal\u00ed in Wonderland<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2009\/09\/22\/alejandro-jodorowskys-dune\/\">Alejandro Jodorowsky\u2019s Dune<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2008\/01\/09\/dirty-dali\/\">Dirty Dal\u00ed<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2007\/07\/28\/impressions-de-la-haute-mongolie-revisited\/\">Impressions de la Haute Mongolie revisited<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2007\/06\/02\/dali-and-film\/\">Dal\u00ed and Film<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2006\/12\/12\/salvador-dalis-apocalyptic-happening\/\">Salvador Dal\u00ed\u2019s apocalyptic happening<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2006\/04\/26\/dali-atomicus\/\">Dal\u00ed Atomicus<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2006\/03\/03\/impressions-de-la-haute-mongolie\/\">Impressions de la Haute Mongolie<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lonesome Echo (1955) by Jackie Gleason.
