Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.co.uk

What an enjoyable and enterprising collection! Barber's Adagio we all know and love, but, in his ravishing Fantasia On A Hymn Tune, Thomas Canning (1911-59) displays a similar mastery of string sonority (and the idiom has more than a touch of Vaughan Williams's Tallis Fantasia about it). Walt Whitman's Sea Drift evidently brought the best out of John Alden Carpenter (1876-1951)--as it had Delius some three decades previously. Carpenter's evocative 1933 tone-poem serves up a heady brew indeed, a mini-masterpiece of American impressionism. Elsewhere, who could resist the indelible charms of George Whitefield Chadwick's gorgeous "Noel" (the second of his Symphonic Sketches of 1895) or Gershwin's wistful Lullaby? Arthur Foote's "Pizzicato & Adagio" (another second movement, this time from his Suite in E, Op. 67) reveals an uncommonly deft orchestral touch, Hoagy Carmichael's "Prayer And Cathedral Vision" (from his Johnny Appleseed Suite) a not unexpected melodic gift. Raymond Leppard presides over some extremely accomplished music-making from his hard-working Indianapolis band, and the engineering is basically very good indeed (though the chosen venue boasts a somewhat dry acoustic). Investigate without delay. --Andrew Achenbach

5.0étoiles sur 5 Neglected Classics Remembered, Nov. 11 2003
Par John Dziadecki (Louisville, CO USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've been reading about Hoagy Carmichael and listening to his songs and music. My research brought me here.

These selections are generally meditative in character, though John Alden Carpenter's "Sea Drift" does contain a bit of flash. Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings", the only workhorse here, receives a loving performance. Thomas Canning's warmth filled "Fantasy on a Hymn Tune of Justin Morgan" is somewhat reminescent of Vaughan Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis" and is a gem.

Closing out this program is another gem -- Hoagy Carmichael's suprizingly delightful selection from his "Johnny Appleseed Suite" -- warm, lyrical, rich, hopeful. Why the entire work has not been recorded, here or elsewhere, is a mystery. This six minute selection makes me want to hear the entire twenty minute work. The full score does exist at Indiana University's Hoagy Carmichael Collection.

The performances and sound quality of this recording are top notch. This is the only Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra recording I own and I must say they are fabulous! The ISO and Leppard are to be applauded for recording these neglected American classics. This is a most welcome compilation!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Very Enthusiastic, Déc 20 1999
Par M. Seeley (Charlotte, NC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very lovely collection of underplayed and under appreciated American works. I concure with the other reviewers. Leppard leads the Indianapolis Symphony in some sumptuous playing of these tender but emotionally charged works. Especially the Fantasy on a Hymn Tune which is deftly performed. If your are looking for an alternative to Ives and Schuman, this is a great disk to expand your horizons.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent Performances from this smaller American Orchestra, Oct. 23 1999
Par Un client
This recent release from Decca Records has some of the familiar but also relatively unknown American works. The recorded sound is quite lovely, a very warm string sound, and some charming solo playing, especially coming from the English Horn player in the work by Hoagy Carmichael. In a era when most recordings and artistic attention is awarded to the largest American orchestras, having a chance to hear what some of the smaller and lesser known ensembles in the USA can do is quite amazing and well worth having available. Many of these works have never been recorded before, and they as a collection represent a slice of America that many people having been yearning for and have been missing. HATS OFF TO THE INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA FOR THIS PROJECT!
