¡Tim Fain (violin), Michael Boriskin (piano), PostClassical Ensemble, Angel Gil-Ordonez (conductor)
Description
[Machine Translation] Lou Harrison, an American composer of contemporary music, wrote many works using a unique technique of collecting ethnic music from around the world and reflecting the essence of the music in his own compositions. His "Violin Concerto," conceived in 1940, features a gorgeous solo violin competing with a group of percussionists, including a gamelan. The concerto is a work of great beauty. The piece offers an intriguing sonority that fully embodies Harrison's sonic vision. The "Grand Duo" for piano and violin also requires the piano to play a special technique reminiscent of "gamelan sounds. The third movement, "Annabelle and April," named after the two daughters of his friend Dennis Russell Davis, originally began as a polka in the fifth movement. Two Musics" was created when Harrison and John Cage were collaborating. Although the two eventually parted ways due to "differences in direction," their friendship is evident in this work. Recorded March 13 and April 19, 2016
