Customer American Classics - Hanson: Orchestral Works Vol 1 Reviews 




Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

3 stars Ideal introduction to the music of Howard Hanson
Having been a professional instrumentalist and teacher for over 30 years I am sorry to say that I had never heard of Howard Hanson until the BBC reviewed his Merry Mount suite in March 2005. Naxos has yet again come up with an excellent value for money recording with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, a first class ensemble that I had never listened to before. I look forward to purchasing recordings of all Hanson's symphonies in the future. Tony Spencer

Penderecki: Orchestral Works Vol 3 / Antoni Wit, Polish Rso CD  (2000)

American Classics - Hanson: Orchestral Works Vol 1
CD $7.79
It is a trite assumption that by association with Krzysztof Penderecki's Polish identity, a performance of his work by a Polish conductor and orchestra suggests itself to be naturally definitive. In this case however, it may be true. As a former student of Penderecki's, Antoni Wit brings authoritative insight to his direction of the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra on this three volume set of Penderecki's orchestral works. The pieces are not presented chronologically. Instead, each disc pairs earlier and later works, which provides a good comparison of the composer's earliest groundbreaking work to his later neo-romantic symphonies. The third volume includes Penderecki's Second and Fourth Symphonies. The Second Symphony, known as the 'Christmas Symphony,' continues the composer's exploration of neo-romanticism. Tortuous chromaticism, darkly introspective strings and fierce brass declarations color this as a Christmas of extreme sobriety. Moments of exuberant triumph alternate with ferocious doom. A careful listening will reveal the setting of the carol "Silent Night" in the first movement, and again in the finale. The Fourth Symphony opens with long sustained notes in the brass, wrapped in winding chromatic lines by the orchestra; this is a texture that recurs in various combinations through the symphony.

The pieces are not presented chronologically. Instead, each disc pairs earlier and later works, which provides a good comparison of the composer's earliest groundbreaking work to his later neo-romantic symphonies. The first volume is an interesting mix of music, matching the retrospective Third Symphony with earlier and more innovative works such as 'Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima,' 'Flourescences,' and 'De Natura Sonoris 2.' These are pieces of great sonic and formal experimentation. 'Threnody' uses microtonal wails in the strings to deeply disturbing but beautiful effect. In 'Flourescences,' Penderecki uses percussion and polyrhythm sculpturally as much as to define rhythm. Strange metallic rumbling, a typewriter, and droning glissandi in the strings add to the atmosphere of a world where sounds, not pitch or harmony, govern form.

Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD  (2005)

American Classics - Hanson: Orchestral Works Vol 1
CD $12.89  4.8 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic and harmonic intricacies that seem to spur Coltrane's saxophone exploration to new heights. The quartet shines on ballads ("Sweet and Lovely"), but the leaders display their best chemistry on the Monk's thorny, uptempo bop numbers. "Evidence" and "Epistrophy," for instance," have Monk adding rhythmic, dissonant punctuation to Coltrane's torrential stream of ideas, creating a thrilling push-pull balance. A superb date, and a must for fans of both artists, AT CARNEGIE HALL captures two of jazz's most important figures working in perfect symbiosis. Personnel: Thelonious Monk (piano); John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Ahmed Abdul-Malik (bass instrument); Shadow Wilson (drums). Recording information: Carnegie Hall, New York, New York (1957).

Grechaninov: Symphony No 3, Etc /Polyansky, Russian State So
Kuznetsova Grechaninov: Symphony No 3, Etc /Polyansky, Russian State So CD  (1999)

American Classics - Hanson: Orchestral Works Vol 1
CD $14.75  4.5 stars Audio Samples
Alexander Grechaninov was something of a living anachronism, and a very long-lived one at that. A contemporary of Mahler, Sibelius, and Ives, his style remained on the conservative side of the Tchaikovsky tradition until his death in 1956. He wrote a great deal of Orthodox Church music, meaning that after 1917 a substantial part of his output was disenfranchised in his native Russia. His five symphonies have been largely forgotten, but Valery Polyansky and the Russian State Symphony Orchestra have done their best to revive them with a series of recordings on Chandos. The Third, written in 1923, is a big, colorful affair, reminiscent of Glazunov or Rachmaninov, and it is passionately performed in this spectacularly vivid and resonant recording. The disc also includes the first-ever recording of the cantata 'Praise the Lord,' a choral concert work with orchestra that has many of the soulful qualities of Grechaninov's liturgical music.
