Ebony Concerto; Symphony in Three Movements

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conducting his own complex, rhythmically demanding compositions, the composer delivers an authoritative rendering of two major neoclassical works. The recording vividly highlights the jazz-inspired, heavily syncopated clarinet passages of the concerto against the muscular, driving dissonances of the symphony. It is a highly significant historical document capturing a giant of twentieth-century music interpreting his own scores.
