Portraits Of Freedom Music of Aaron Copland and Roy Harris

Descripción del producto Classica contemporanea Orchestrale - COPLAND Aaron: Fanfare for the common man (1942); Lincoln portrait (1942); Canticle of freedom; An outdoor ouverture (1937); American Creed Tienda This is a mixture of choral and orchestral music by two great American composers, music that can only be described as patriotic. But don't let that keep you away from Copland's heartbreaking Lincoln Portrait or Roy Harris's much-neglected American Creed. James Earl Jones supplies the narration in Lincoln Portrait. American Creed is filled with Harris's usual open harmonies and melodic expansiveness and is actually a very complex triple fugue. The miking for this entire recording isn't as close to the orchestra or clear as it could be, but this is a great collection nonetheless. --Paul Cook

Review Lincoln Portrait... has finally found a speaker equal to its musical merits... James Earl Jones... succeeds in making the text as relevant to our day as it was to the 1940s... vibrant, precise playing from the Seattle Symphony, captured with hair-raising sonic presence. -- The New York Times From the Artist In the summer of 1991, at New Jersey's Waterloo Festival, James Earl Jones and Gerard Schwarz collaborated in a live performance of Lincoln Portrait -- an evening which set this recording in motion. Copland's blend of words and music had never affected me so profoundly as in this partnership, now captured on disc. -- Amelia S. Haygood Ver más
