American Tapestry

Opis

American TapestryOpis:If you've ever wondered what American musical treasures there are lurking beyond the likes of, say, Barber's Adagio for strings, Copland's Appalachian Spring or Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, then this is the disc for you. No one, surely, could fail to be seduced by the sultry charms of Charles Griffes's ravishing The White Peacock. Alan Hovhaness' Mysterious Mountain (the second of this prolific figure's 60-something symphonies to date) casts a similarly potent spell and its radiant string textures could well strike a chord with anyone bitten by the Gorécki/Tavener bug. Walter Piston's deliciously tuneful 1938 ballet suite The Incredible Flutist has always understandably remained his most popular score, and pretty much the same holds true for William Schuman's noble, impeccably crafted New England Triptych. Last but not least, there's Charles Ives's Three Places in New England, an extraordinarily evocative canvas and as good an introduction as any to the amazing output of this pioneering radical. Needless to say, Andrew Litton and his superb Dallas band are on peak form throughout. Boasting spectacular sound and exemplary presentation, An American Tapestry certainly earns an enthusiastic recommendation. --Andrew Achenbach Product description William Schuman : New England Triptych - Charles Tomlinson Griffes : The White Peacock, Op.7 n° 1 - Charles Ives : Three Places in New England - Alan Hovhaness : Mysterious Moutain (Symphonie n° 2) - Walter Piston : The Incredible Flutist / Dallas Symphony Orchestra, dir.
