Some words on this issue: SALVADOR DALI: “Opera Poema Etre Dieu” (Tecnodisco – ED-50001-3) Original Spanish pressing, recorded in 1974, released in the late eighties. Much talked about Dali recording since Salvador Dali was the only painter who also wrote a libretto for an opera-poem called “Être Dieu” (“To Be God”), a reflection of his personality. Dali began to write the libretto for this opera in the year 1927 together with Federico Garcia Lorca one afternoon in the Café Regina Victoria, Madrid. In 1974 Dali made a record of the opera in Paris for which Igor Wakhevitch wrote the music and the Spanish writer Manuel Vazquez Montalban, in accordance with an expose by Dali, made the libretto. During the recording, however, Dali refused to follow Montalban's text word by word and began to improvise saying “Salvador Dali never repeats himself”. This demonstrates his work in surreal pictures and sound. Totally mind blowing. An epic, surrealistic poem recited by Dali in French with the help of several voice actors. An amazing array of sounds backs him, ranging from symphonic orchestra to acid/prog rock band to tape effects, electronics, percussion and found sounds. In the plot Dali creates the world, gets in trouble and his saved by his wife Gala. Awesome disc.
