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)
Berger: Miracles And Mud, Eli Eli, Etc / Livia Sohn, Et Al
$9.89  
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.
