Album Notes & Community Reviews
Seeking to prove his mettle within strict European classical forms, the composer's ambitious concerto is presented here with robust mid-century flair. The performance highlights the seamless, highly original integration of propulsive jazz rhythms and blues-inflected melodies into a traditional three-movement symphonic structure. It remains a cornerstone of the uniquely American classical repertoire.
