Digital Booklet
|
|||||
This is the second volume in a collection by conductor Reuben Blundell surveying pieces by American composer from the late 19th century. With each piece receiving its premiere recording, this volume sheds light on the push and pull these composers felt between Americana and the prevailing Central European compositional style of the day. Blundell's interpretations are nuanced and passionate and beautifully realized by the Gowanus Arts Ensemble.
