Description
The title refers to a climbing route by Tom Ballard set in a cave from which you can look out into the Dolomites at the sky and mountains in all their incomprehensible beauty. Ballard died in 2019 attempting a climb in winter. To name a route 'A Line above the Sky' speaks of a dream to live a life in the light, embracing the mountains.
I have long been close to the mountains and through them have been inspired, enlightened and consoled. But I have always failed to answer how one can put oneself at such extreme risk. This leads to the question of what life is, and how much it’s worth to a person (and what one’s life might be worth to others). This symphony is a testimony to the intensity of life in the first movement, and a 'Trauermusik' in the second. Thomas Larcher
