Schuman: Symphony No8; Symphony No3(more) »rank: 113937from: Sony
: :Schuman's music belongs to the era that spawned Roy Harris (his teacher), Howard Hanson, and Aaron Copland. Schuman's Symphony No. 3 is a clear homage to Harris, broken rhythms and all. The Symphony for Strings (1943) comes at a time when Schuman's voice is finally his own. What could come off as exceedingly dry is here given a performance of great depth by Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic. Schuman's Symphony No. 8 (1962) is truly modern, making extensive use of atonality and creating a series of stormy images--something that never appears in the music of Hanson, Copland, or Harris.

Enescu: Romanian Rhapsody No. 2; Symphony No. 2(more) »rank: 57895from: Arte Nova Classics
:Album Description:The Romanian Philharmonic Society was founded in 1868. Its conductors have included significant figures in Rumanian music not to mention Enescu himself, whose name the orchestra incorporated into its title in 1955 as the Georges Enescu Bucharest Philharmonic. The current conductor is Cristian Mandeal, who studied with both Karajan and Celibidache. He has conducted numerous major orchestras and more than forty world premieres. Georges Enescu (1881-1955) was an extraordinary musician--one of the great violin virtuosi of the twentieth century, whose performing prowess was eventually overshadowed by his compositional talent. He is the most famous Romanian composer of all time. At ... |

Rainbow Body / Blue Cathedral / Symphony 1 / Appalachian Spring Suite(more) »rank: 14114by: Christopher Theofanidis, Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland, Jennifer Higdon, Robert Spano, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
: :lanking two major works from an earlier generation of American composers are two shorter ones by contemporaries whose command of orchestral textures and hues make for a stimulating program. Christopher Theofanidis' Rainbow Body opens quietly, and builds to a shattering brass-and-percussion-led close, fully exploiting the rich colors of Atlanta's crack orchestra. Jennifer Higdon's Blue Cathedral, which closes the disc, is a finely textured exploration that, in her words, represents an imaginary journey 'through a glass cathedral in the sky.' It has a soaring quality that captivates, and while not as melodic as Theofanidis' piece, is as compelling in its own way. ... |
