Digital Booklet
|
"... a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The work of orchestra and conductor is exemplary ... the engineering is superb. Highly recommended."
- Fanfare
"... certainly deserves the attention of anyone who is not hopelessly averse to modern works. The playing and recording are first rate ... I found all the pieces well worth hearing."
- MusicWeb International
"... vivacious and fertile works ... each shows a different aspect of McTee’s orchestral love, whether she’s conjuring whirlwind colours, arresting jazz riffs or kaleidoscopic computer sounds."
- Gramophone
Leonard Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra present this album, recorded live in 2010 and 2012, showcasing works by contemporary American composer Cindy McTee that embody the musical and cultural energy of modern day America. Her Symphony No. 1 is smartly assembled with diverse ideas that unfold naturally within an orchestral fabric, taking full advantage of the ensemble’s colouristic range. The use of computer music in Einstein’s Dream lends sonic complexity to a piece that celebrates the scientist’s work on quantum theory. The final piece, Double Play, was commissioned by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
