Fanfare (1-2/00, pp.207-208) - "...Bennett conjures up a dynamic Classicism worthy of his tumultuous epoch...these readings by the Moscow Symphony, under the committed baton of Americana specialist William T. Stromberg, come out sounding reasonably well rehearsed and adequately idiomatic..."
REVIEWS:
| | Harrison: Suite For Violin, Etc / Bachman, Sedares, Et Al CD (1999)
Original Masters - Bloch: String Quartets / Griller Quartet
$9.65 
Lou Harrison is a towering though somewhat underrated figure in American music. A folk-inspired composer at heart, but not in the jazz- or Americana-inspired way of Bernstein and Copland, Harrison tends to employ techniques and instruments associated with Indonesia and the Far East. For those new to Harrison, this beautifully played and recorded CD is an ideal introduction.
The Suite for Violin and Orchestra is an achingly beautiful work showing Harrison's love of long-reaching melodies. Meditative and serene (apart from the infectious dance rhythms of the second movement), this work deserves to be a concert mainstay. The Suite for Cello and Piano was originally written for two friends of Harrison's who were not professional musicians. Although this piece is deliberately free of extreme technical difficulties, it brims with Harrison's gift for melody.
The Suite for Cello and Harp is a representative work in that the sparse textures of the harp afford Harrison the ability to evoke his love of Japanese and Javanese music. The Three Waltzes have a beguiling simplicity that recall the piano music of Virgil Thomson while 'Western Dance' is an uncharacteristic work of wide dynamic range and rhythmic complexity.

Award Winner
| | Beethoven: Songs / Stephan Genz, Roger Vignoles CD (1999)
Original Masters - Bloch: String Quartets / Griller Quartet
$17.45
Beethoven's legacy is based primarily in grand compositions such as the symphony, concerto and piano sonata. The body of work he left behind inspired virtually every composer who followed, and yet, he found the smaller vocal works infinitely more difficult--he dreamed in terms of full orchestra, not solo voice. This is perhaps why Beethoven's songs are so richly textured, bursting with the same bombast he poured into his orchestral works.
Baritone Stephan Genz and pianist Roger Vignoles perform these challenging works admirably. Genz has a powerful voice that always seems capable of that extra effort when called upon. From the gaiety of "Maigesang" to melodrama and introspection of "Klage," Genz and Vignoles capture the essence of Beethoven's remarkably expressive compositions.
