About this product
Yolanda Kondonassis' enthusiasm for her instrument is infectious, says Jennifer Higdon when describing working with her to create a new harp concerto. This world premiere recording by Yolanda Kondonaiss with Ward Stare and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra is a showcase for the grandeur of the harp through this beautiful composition by Jennifer Higdon. The harp as well as the orchestra is challenged with virtuosic and beautiful moments. The recording continues with the triumphant First Symphony of Samuel Barber, and rounds out with InchRaptureInch by Patrick Harlin described as being similar to extreme emotional states, musical elements in this piece start subtly and are magnified to their extremes, echoing throughout as inspired by the incredible experience of ultra-caving.

This new album from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Michael Poll, shines a spotlight on three remarkable 20th-century American composers.At the heart of the album, violinist Jack Liebeck brings his remarkable virtuosity, and a richly expressive sound reminiscent of the golden era of violin playing, to Samuel Barber's beloved Violin Concerto. Complimenting this centrepiece are Byron Adams's evocative Midsummer Music and David Conte's vibrant Sinfonietta, a three-movement work brimming with elegance and energy. Together, these pieces offer a compelling and diverse celebration of 20th-century American orchestral music.
