About this product

The phenomenon of legendary composer and multi-instrumentalist David Amram defies easy definitions. Always ahead of his time in anything that he created, and immersed in jazz, folk, world music, film and theater music, as well as in contemporary classical music, he was praised by The Washington Post as Inchone of the most versatile and skilled musicians America has ever producedInch, while The Boston Globe hailed him as Inchthe Renaissance man of American musicInch, and The New York Times proclaimed him Inchmulticultural before multiculturalism existedInch. Being first and being ahead of his time comes naturally to David Amram - a pioneer of the jazz French Horn who simultaneously amassed the highest number of performances of the Brahms Horn Trio, while fascinating the crowds at folk and world music festivals, writing several books, composing scores for films and plays, touring worldwide, collaborating with iconic figures like Jack Kerouac, Elia Kazan, Pete Seeger, Paquito D'Rivera and Tito Puente, and at the same time also making his mark as a celebrated prolific composer of classical music, having written over 100 works in the symphonic, operatic and chamber music genres. Amram's legacy is a huge collection of so many milestones and inroads, that have established him as not only one of the most eclectic composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, but also as a guiding light, role model and enormous source of inspiration for younger generations. This album presents selected chamber music compositions written by David Amram between 1958 and 2017, and includes four world-premiere recordings. Album Tracks 1. Three Lost Loves for Violin, Alto Saxophone and Piano (2016) 2. The Wind and the Rain for Viola and Piano (1958) 3. Sonata for Violin and Piano (1960) 4. Portraits for Piano Quartet (1979) 5. Elegy for Violin and Piano (1970) 6. Two Excerpts from Jack

The Orchestra of the Americas performs Aaron Coplands euphoric Third Symphony and Mexican composer Carlos Chávezs rousing Sinfonía India in a thrilling Linn debut. Carlos Miguel Prieto, known for his charismatic conducting and dynamic, expressive interpretations, directs the orchestra. The Orchestra of the Americas performed both works at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival as part of a European tour, which saw the orchestra perform at the Rheingau Festival, the Elbphilharmonie and the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music. Full of hope, heroism and joyful optimism Coplands Third Symphony is considered the Great American Symphony; it is perhaps most famous for it's finale in which Copland incorporates his Fanfare for the Common Man, an exhilarating conclusion that leaves listeners uplifted. With scintillating indigenous melodies, complex rhythms and highly percussive orchestration, Chávezs Sinfonía India is the perfect piece to end the programme and showcase this passionate, flamboyant and brilliantly incisive orchestra. Album Tracks 1. Copland Symphony No. 3 2. Chávez Symphony No. 2 'Sinfonía India'
