Organ Symphony / Dance Symphony / Short Smphony Reviews

The Copland known to most people is the composer of scores such as El Salón México, Rodeo, Appalachian Spring, and the Third Symphony–in short, of the popular, approachably folksy works of the years 1936 to 1946. But what about the music Copland wrote before these defining pieces? Some would say it’s even more important, having served to open the door, as Virgil Thomson rightly observed, to “the voice of America in our generation.” The four works on this disc show that Copland was Copland–a …

Dane Rudhyar: Five Stanzas; Arnold Schoenberg: Pelleas and Melisande, Op. 5

Five Stanzas for String Ensemble, dedicated to Carl Ruggles, pioneer and friend, was composed in Hollywood, California, from December 6 to December 26, 1927, and the final score was written during the following weeks. I had met Carl Ruggles in December 1922, when I went to New York to play some of my earlier piano compositions at a concert of the International Composers Guild, of which I had been a founding member a year before. The score of Five Stanzas was printed in the quarterly New Music Or…

Malipiero: Symphonies Nos. 5, 6, 8 & 11

This third volume of Malipiero’s symphonies features the most widely played of all his Symphonies, the
strikingly original Sixth (for strings) from 1947. The adventurous, at times dissonant Fifth, with its
concertante part for two pianos, juxtaposes chamber and orchestral textures. From the 1960s come the
Eleventh (of the bagpipes), which features drone-like ostinati, and the colourfully scored Eighth (Short
Symphony). Volumes 1 and 2 are available on Naxos 8.570878 and 8.570879….

Furtwangler: Symphony No. 3 Reviews

He was awarded the Gustav-Mahler-Goldmedaille in 1985 for his performances of the complete works of Mahler and is the author of the book Die Symphonien Gustav Mahlers. …
