Release Date: 2007-01-01
Janos Starker, cello; Walter Trampler, viola; Blanca Uribe, piano; Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston; Leon Botstein, Conductor
This recording documents three new concertos written by three distinguished American composers. Although there are distinct stylistic differences among them, these concertos were written with a view to their accessibility to both player and audience. Each was written for the soloist who has recorded it here. Therefore, these performances carry a nearly original sense of a particular collaboration between soloist and composer. The purpose of the recording is not only to provide pleasure to listeners who wish to hear new repertoire but also to encourage performers and conductors do what increasingly appears to be the most difficult task for new music: the scheduling of multiple performances after a premiere. These works eminently deserve replaying and rehearsing in live contexts. What links them together is that they fairly represent dimensions of late-twentieth-century American musical modernism, which, in turn, mirror the integration of the musical innovations of the early and mid-twentieth-century with the traditions of the nineteenth -Leon Botstein
This title, originally issued on the CRI label, is now available as a burn-on-demand CD (CD-R) or download in MP3/320, FLAC or WAV formats. CD-Rs come in a protective sleeve; no print booklet or jewel case included. Liner notes are accessible via the link above.
