This disc delivers a postmodern listening experience. Written by U.S.-trained composers, nearly all of these orchestral pieces, in duration the musical equivalent of the short story, reflect some well-known strain in 20th century orchestral music. We hear perhaps unintended reminiscences of the fugue theme from Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste in Whitman Brown's 'Zudnick,' and of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' and of John Adams' "The Chairman Dances" from 'Nixon in China' in David Stock's 'Fast Break.' Persis Parshall Vehar's 'Light/Lux/Svietlo' intriguingly creates the sound of an imaginary Mahler waltz arranged by Ravel, and Gary Philo's superb 'Spring Music' exhibits thematic and orchestral control that brings to mind the ease and aplomb of Richard Strauss at his best. The accompanying booklet provides extensive and welcome notes on the composers and the works, which are especially valuable insofar as a few of the selections are intended to depict specific programs. |
