Album Notes & Community Reviews

This split release provides a fascinating dichotomy of mid-century American academic composition. The recording contrasts the accessible, broadly Americana-influenced lyricism of Douglas Moore with the strict, uncompromising twelve-tone serialism of Wallingford Riegger. It is a highly demanding, intellectually rigorous presentation of modern chamber music aesthetics.
