About this product
The musical language of the New York-based Arnold Rosner (1945-2013) had it's roots in the modal harmony and rhythm of pre-Baroque polyphony and evolved in an array of unusual directions, producing a style that is instantly recognizable and immediately appealing - as can be heard in the three works on this recording. Rosner's Nocturne suggests the immensity - and the implacable violence - of outer space, whereas his overture Tempus Perfectum has it's starting point in Renaissance dance. The monumental Sixth Symphony opens with music of volcanic ferocity and vehemence; the central Adagio then provides an island of troubled calm before the dignified opening of the finale presages a symphonic Allegro of wild, freewheeling energy; only when it's immense force is spent does this powerful masterpiece sink to an uneasy close.

![Hofmann / Halasz / Grodd - Flute Concertos 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6dd63980-09c3-4f61-9d11-eb1d7474e0ad.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Leopold Hofmann was among the most prominent Viennese composers of his generation, his music performed all over Europe. Hofmann's radiant flute concertos follow the conventions of the day with superlative elegance and a deceptive facility. The solo writing has a lightness, grace and agility perfectly suited to the instrument's strengths, particularly in the lovely and often rhapsodic slow movements. It is hardly surprising that musicians and audiences found these concertos so beguiling, and they have lost none of their magic today. The works are performed by award-winning flautist Uwe Grodd and the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice.

The musical language of the New York-based Arnold Rosner (1945-2013) clothes the modal harmony and rhythm of pre-Baroque polyphony in rich Romantic colours, producing a style that is instantly recognisable and immediately appealing. This second Toccata Classics album of his orchestral music contrasts the high-spirited Unraveling Dances - a rhapsody with more than a nod to Ravel's Bolero - with the powerful symphonic suite Five Ko-ans for Orchestra and Rosner's dramatic, dark, hieratic setting of Kafka's The Parable of the Law for baritone and orchestra. American baritone Christopher Burchett has appeared on the stages of opera companies throughout the United States and Europe, including New York City Opera, Santa Fe Opera, and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Opera News has described him as a 'fearlessly vulnerable' performer, 'who gave an unflinchingly, heroically human performance that will linger long in the memory.' Nick Palmer is music director of the Lafayette Symphony in Indiana, North Charleston Pops in South Carolina and the 'Evening Under the Stars' music festival in Massachusetts; principal pops conductor of the Altoona Symphony in Philadelphia; and distinguished conductor in residence at Kentucky Wesleyan College.
