Product Description

From Amazon.com

John Harbison (b. 1938) and Roger Sessions (1896-1985) are two of America's least-appreciated composers. Their strengths come from their mixture of Modernistic effects with a solid Romantic lyicism at their base. Both Harbison's Oboe Concerto and Symphony 2 show this. Intellectually, the Symphony is more appealing; it appears more richly textured and robust than the Concerto, which is a more formal construct. Sessions's Symphony 2 has a kind of cosmopolitan busyness to it, akin to much of Leonard Bernstein's work, minus the distinct themes and melodies. Fans of the American symphony will enjoy this collection. --Paul Cook

Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars (1 customer review)

5.0 out of 5 stars treasure of a golden age, April 22 2012
By Dr. Whom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Symphony 2 (Audio CD)
That such a disc lies languishing on this site testifies again to the fecklessness of our age. Unique beauty, rich affects, gorgeous sound. If you have or wish to develop a taste for the classical music of the last fifty years, here is a (regrettably) unique opportunity. Would this disc could top the charts.
