Album Description

*A specially priced 2CD set with over 110 minutes of some of the greatest film music in the history of cinema.

*New digital recordings in spectacular and sound performed by the acclaimed City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and National Youth Jazz Band.

*Includes world premiere recordings from "The Birdman Of Alcatraz," "Thoroughly Modern Millie," "Airplane!" and "An American Werewolf In London."

*In 2004 the world of cinema lost one of the most iconic figures in film composing. In a career that spanned half-a-century and over 250 films, Elmer Bernstein was responsible for writing the music to many of the greatest and most loved movies of all time ranging from "The Ten Commandments," "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Great Escape," through to "True Grit" and "Airplane!" This collection has been lovingly created and compiled as a tribute to a genius and true master of the art of film scoring.

Sad Really Sad.......2007-05-13

These CDs don't meet the standards I would have expected from Elmer Bernstein's wonderful film music.
*Boring*
It just didn't have the energy one would expect from "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Man with the Golden Arm". I think the City of Prague and National Youth Jazz Orchestras were bargain orchestras used to make an inexpensive CD set of one of my favorite film composers. The conducting and arrangements were what made this an obviously bad album.

An excellent movie themes antology by ELMER BERNSTEIN.......2007-05-10

Silva Screen Records, presents this antology of the music from the late great composer/conductor ELMER BERNSTEIN, who supervised this recording just before die.
Played the The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and conducted by his one time assistant James Fitzpatrick
Recorded in HDCD and Dolby Surround

Excellent.......2007-04-22

it's unfortunate that more tracks weren't able to be recorded as theree was a good 15-20 minutes of space remaining on both discs. Regardless, this is an excellent sampler, especially in conjunction with Varese's Bernstein sampler including rare stuff like the Black Cualdron.

With regards to this silva set, these recordings range back to 1994, with Sons of Katie Elder and True Grit being recorded for a John Wayne CD and Bridge At Remagen for a CD of classic War themes. The Great Escape was also recorded for that CD, but producer James Fitzpatrick opted to record a new arrangement (same with Magnificent Seven). In '97, The Buccaneer for included on a Swashbucklers disc, while Heavy Metal was on the popular 'Space and Beyond' compilation. In '98, the world premiere recording of Airplane first appeared on a DISASTERS film disc. So while it may technically be the world premiere RECORDING it certainly is not the world premiere CD RELEASE of that recording. Ghostbusters was included on Space 3: Beyond the Final Frontier, the second followup to the popular 'Space and Beyond'. Fast forward to 2002 and 4 recordings first appeared on WAY OUT WEST: ESSENTIAL WESTERN FILM MUSIC COLLECTION VOLUME TWO, those being The Comancheros, The Hallelujah Trail, The Scalphunters and The Shootist. Man With the Golden Arm and Walk on the Wild are from Silva's JAZZ IN FILM cd.

The remaining tracks were all newly recorded for this release. They are of course the strongest tracks, seeing as the City of Prague Philharmonic has improved over time. I do wonder though why they did not include the older arrangements of Great Escape and Mag. Seven as bonus tracks.

I also recommend the simultaneously released '40 years of Film Music: Jerry Goldsmith' for another great set honoring a late great film composer.

Great Film Music.......2007-03-09

This is a great recording of some of the best film music ever. From the
great westerns to the Theme from Airplane to music he did for television,
Bernstein was one of the greatest.

Fun, Powerfull music.......2007-02-17

It's great! It brings back memories of my dad. He loved John Wayne and the old cowboys of the Magnificent Seven. But it's nice just to listen and relax (it's not all cowboy music).

Masterpiece restored!.......2007-06-05

It's wonderful that this opera is being performed again (allbeit not in a fully staged version yet). This was Donizetti's last work before he went mad from syphillis. It's a cross between bel canto and French grand opera. This is sung in original French and uses the edition by Mary Ann Smart.

The CD is a live recording from 2 performances that opened the ROH's 2005 season. Great sound engineering! The audience is so quiet and the voices and the orchestra are captured so well it could pass as a studio recording.

Mark Elder leads a well defined and passionate performance by the orchestra (tho occasionally too loud), and the lead singers are well sung. Giuseppe Filianoti has really gorgeously clear and noble voice as Dom Sebastien and sings beautifully (omitting the high notes for his big aria 'Seul sur la terre', however). Vesselina Kasarova is a very exotic sounding Zayda. Pretend you don't understand French when she is singing, and she will carry you off into the sands of Africa and the parapets of the spanish castle (really wonderful voice actress, but really can't sing French inteligibly either).

Simon Keenlyside is the Abayaldos to die for. So heroic and utterly convincing that the irony that he is supposedly the bad guy of the show is prominent. I want to fight for the dude when I hear him rather for the supposedly good guys. Carmelo Caruso was a late substitute as Camoens, and he sings well, though has such a prominent vibrato that everything sounds shaky. All the minor roles are well sung and the chorus is awesome.

The music is really wonderfully descriptive and moves the story forward well. I quite love the Act III funeral music (snippet of it is introduced as the overture). The dratted thing is that after Act III, the final 2 acts don't stand up quite well to what comes before it.

At any rate, this is the best recording of this opera available. Very nice packaging by Opera Rara, too. The 3 CDs set comes with a thick booklet detailing the history of the opera and the real life events it was based (loosely) on, with complete synopsis and libretto in French and translated English. Worth every penny of the retail price to me!

A bullseye on the wrong dartboard.......2007-06-28

As a fan from Alive I on, I'm glad to see this album getting some affection. I always liked it and was kinda let down by the band's abandonment of it.

I think they bash it because it was an act of desperation at a desperate time, and it reminds them of that. They gambled as if they were running out of chances. I think that drove them to make a much better album than they like to admit to.
It's only failure is that they didn't get the boost that they were after. If it had been a hit, they wouldn't have any complaints. If I have any gripes about that period, it was Gene's and Paul's costumes :)(and that those SOBs never came back to Hawaii). Paul looked like he was going to an aerobics class and Gene liked liked he forgot to get dressed...demon longjohns.

This CD sounds really great and when they stopped making it I never thought that I would be able to find it.

The Best KISS Album, Hands Down..........2007-06-09

By the time Music from the Elder was released, my younger brother and I had been avid KISS fans for several years after initially getting hooked on Destroyer. We bought the older albums and played them until the needle on our record player had worn them out. When we heard the letdown that was Dynasty, we figured that was it for our favorite band. Then we saw and heard some of the new material from "Music from The Elder" on Solid Gold (if I recall correctly, the band played "I" and "A World Without Heroes"). It was so different, we figured we'd give it a chance. The next day we went to K-mart and picked up the album. To this day, it has been the only KISS album I go back and listen to on a regular basis. Sure, I love the occasional tracks off Alive II, and I do give Destroyer a spin every now and then, but the Elder is an album I'll listen to from start to finish time and again.

Why? The majesty of it all. The uniqueness. People can say it's the poor man's Floyd (I'm a big Floyd fan myself) or Who or whatever, but it's not. It's KISS, mostly Paul and Gene, trying to do something different. The two of them can claim all they want that they hate the album now. Anyone who has met them knows their egos are the size of houses. My guess is that the commercial failure of The Elder was too big a blow to their egos and they just had to disown it, and still do to this day. The band tried to show some vulnerability and craft something artistic instead of the usual throwaway drugs-rock-sex rockers and they got nailed for it. "OK fans, sorry... Um, we hate the album too. It was Ezrin's idea, not ours."

But the bottom line here is that you do NOT spend this much time and effort building up tracks and tracks of harmonies and orchestrating horns and tailoring your vocals precisely for each track (listen to Paul on Odyssey vs. The Oath, and Gene on Mr. Blackwell vs. World Without Heroes) because you hated doing it. The tape doesn't lie. There is love and attention paid to each track. These aren't straight ahead rockers for the most part -- each song has its special intricacies and well-thought flourishes.

Music from the Elder was like a child that you can hear the band really wanted to be received into the world with love. When that didn't happen, they disowned it. OK, maybe that sounds a bit silly, but I really believe that's what happened. And Gene and Paul will probably go to their grave claiming they are still embarrassed by this album.

But the highlights are clear. "Escape From The Island" is a pure showcase for Eric Carr. "Just A Boy" is beautifully crafted and built. Take "Mr. Blackwell" and put it on any other KISS album and it would be another awesome Gene track, right up there with God of Thunder (OK, I know that's a Paul track, but you know what I mean). The guitar solo on "A World Without Heroes" is melodic brilliance. "Under the Rose" is rich, dark, and imposing. "Dark Light" is a fantastic Ace tune, and his extended solo is a classic.

I'm pretty psyched that this album is finally getting the recognition it deserves from a decent number of KISS fans... Now if only Paul and Gene could find the courage to reconcile themselves with it.

Way Ahead of It's Time.......2007-06-01

The problem everyone has with this is that it's not made of more "Shout It Out Loud"s or "Rock and Roll All Night"s. With the state of Kiss in 1981, I'm not so sure they could have done anything right from a commerical standpoint. They were critiqued as a kiddie band, lost a member, and accused of selling out due to Dynasty. This album - if it had been a commerical success - would be their biggest album to date. There are great melodies, hooks, riffs, drums...and the songwriting is inspirational and it goes places that Kiss never went before as far as content. "Just a Boy" "Under the Rose" "I" and "A World Without Heroes" are awesome melodic tunes. Ace's "Dark Light" and "Escape from the Island" are cool. To prove my point - in college I put this CD on for my roommate who knew almost nothing about Kiss. And he thought "Under the Rose" was one of the coolest songs he ever heard. At this point in 1981, in many eyes, Kiss could do nothing right. This is truly a musical work of art. Even Bob Ezrin has since claimed that the problem with this record is that it's too good, and too shocking because it turned out exactly the way they intended. But Kiss couldn't get away with conceptual music like The Who or the Beatles. And as far as Gene, Paul and Ace bashing this record since it came out...I don't buy it. They can't claim in hindsight that it was the wrong thing to do. They really believed in it at the time. If it had sold, they'd be playing half of these songs live.

Only For The Musically Inclined...........2007-05-14

I just finished reading most of the 127 reviews on this album. Here are some quick retorts to some of the detractors.

1)The groundwork for Kiss's declining fan base was already set in motion: Dynasty (Die nasty); Unmasked; Peter Criss Solo Album; and the Bonus Tracks on Alive 2 (Anyway You Want It; All American Man; Larger Than Life)
Some even say that The Elder and Unmasked were the 1,2 punch. Not true. The bonus tracks on Smashes, Thrashes...was like a kick to the groin, and while I was bent over gasping for air, Hot In The Shade came along and clubbed me over the head.

2)They're not atempting Progressive rock (ala. Yes, King Crimson) but creating a conceptual album in the vein of a BASIC rock n' roll band (The Who,The Rolling Stones). Both bands used orchestral music and such, with SIMPLE guitars.

3)I remember reading a 1983 Hit Parader magazine where Gene says "I love Music From The Elder." However, since the advent of grunge, negativity sells. Especially when it comes to selling anything Kiss. So they diss The Elder,and still do today.

And why would anti drugs and alcohol Gene let a producer "on drugs" (self admitted) take control of their careers at Kiss's most vulnerable time?

Well enough of that...on with the review.

Music From The Elder has many great moments and is in my top 3 Kiss albums. Strong tracks include "The Oath";"Under The Rose";"Just A Boy"; and "The Odyssey".

It's true however, that you should listen to all 11 songs as an entire piece of music. I'm also curious to find out the real truth to what Ace is playing on. I have a hard time believing it's just one song. Several solo's have a Dave Gilmour-esque quality to them. Especially "The Odyssey" which has a very magnanimous feel to it.

"The Oath" is one of Kiss's heaviest songs ever. Right up there with "Parasite" or "Almost Human". Paul's singing is spot on, and complements this giant sounding rocker. After seeing Ace play this on the late night show "Fridays", I just can't believe he didn't see the potential. All he had to do was wait a little longer for his opportunity. Eric Carr is also winding out on ***double bass drum on this tune, a first for Kiss up to that point. Let me also state that Eric Carr's drumming is once again superb, from the percussion filled "Dark Light" to a great tasty little fill at the beginning of "The Odyssey".

Let me finish the review with perhaps Kiss's crowning moment..."Under The Rose". If your not taken back by this superior sounding track you are probably suffering from A.D.D.. It's pretty much jaw dropping and should leave you with goose bumps. To have seen this played live on a an epic scale would have been.....oh well....

It's too bad this album flopped for them. If "Creatures" pre-empted this, it could have been alot different.

If your a true Kiss fan, and can exercise a little patience, you should find this album at least musically impressive. It's a shame that fans are so close minded when it comes to The Elder.

Though I do admit, it's not a common trait of a typical Kiss fan to be musically diverse. Songs like "Love Gun" and "Nothin To Lose" are revered as great.

So remember Kiss Army before listening to "Music From The Elder "...You GOT GOT nothin to lose..." now that's embarassing.................

****Footnote: "Torpedo Girl" is actually the 1st double bass song. But who knew?

The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Back when the film Shine was popular, Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto became all the rage as a work making nearly suicidal demands of its soloist. But one mountain of challenges to the virtuoso you're not likely to encounter in live performance is the Piano Concerto of Ferruccio Busoni. Its dimensions are Guinness Book material: Lasting over 70 minutes and cast in five epic movements, it not only uses a gargantuan orchestra but calls for an invisible male chorus singing a mystical hymn of stunning beauty in the finale. But the concerto isn't just about grandiosity. Its complex, symbolic architecture gives the work a searching intensity more akin to the trajectory of a Mahler symphony. In his preoccupation with synthesizing elements from North and South, incorporating contrapuntal complexity and flowing Italianate lyricism, introspective gloom and fevered excitement, Busoni sounds something like a character out of Thomas Mann.

Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin--who has made a specialty of neglected masterpieces--performs with a tremendous range of expression and theatrical flair, clearly holding his own against the earlier celebrated account of John Ogdon. The sui generis nature of the piece requires an unusually high degree of sensitive interaction from the conductor. Mark Elder shows a magnificent grasp of Busoni's architectonic sensibility and his sculpting of musical space, as well as of the score's kaleidoscopic orchestration. Busoni may be bidding farewell to an entire tradition here, but it's his over-the-top originality that is likely to captivate you. --Thomas May

Customer Reviews:

Not topping Ogdon.......2006-04-04

I agree with some of the reviews below. Hamelin is incredible but the whole performance is somewhat less than it could be. John Ogdon's amazing performance on EMI is the one to get.

A word on the concerto: this really should be a commonly known piece. Often we find music by less familiar composers that is praised by enthusiasts but ultimately ends up as something below amazing. Not so here and actually not so with much of Busoni's music, especially the operas. It's, well, strange to read people in these pages bubbling over genuinely second rank stuff of little real distinction when we have here a brilliant composer with an immediately recognizable style. Kurt Weill studied under him and his music often sounds like a pale echo of Busoni's angular, distinctly orchestrated, endlessly surprising, frequently hum-able music. Oddly, in an era of grand late romantics, Busoni managed a lean and mean quality with his music that reaches well beyond mere classicism. It also get better the more you listen to it. I've been listening to this wonderful concerto now for nearly 35 years and it still sounds fresh.

Superb performance !.......2004-09-01

This gargantuan piano concert demands a first rate pianist , a great conductor and a virtuosi orchestra to work out .
In the late seventues I acquired the available version in vynil of the key Ravenaugh Ogdon , skillfully performed .
But Hamelin is an extarordinary and best gifted pianist who matchs with Ogdon in musicality and technician equipment . And even the rapport with the orchestra does not reach the intensity of Ravenaugh Ogdon , the result is widely worthable .
Hamelin is one of the giants keyboardists in all the world .
I really expect he makes a close approach to Beethoven , He has the demanded abilties and intelligence to win this challenge .
Acquire this recording to get into Busoni musical universe and enjoying of the superb craft of Hamelin.
Try to find too all you can from Hamelin playing Alkan .

Bland orchestra keeps this from being 5 stars for me.......2004-06-15

John Ogdon was a head case (long before Helfgott made it trendy to be a crazy musician) but boy, could he play! To hear him play would make you forget that there could be anything amiss with his mind. What I especially loved about him was his affinity for zany masterpieces like Sorabji's "Opus Clavicembalisticum," virtually unplayable pieces that nobody else would touch with a 10-foot pole. The Busoni concerto was one of those masterpieces that Ogdon embraced, even though most pianists wouldn't go near it. Even today, you practically count on one hand the number of pianists that include this musical behemoth in their repetoire.

One of those is Marc-André Hamelin, who demonstrates an admirable command of this densely-textured, mammoth piece. Certainly I cannot find any fault in his interpretation, but once again (as has happened all too frequently in this Hyperion series) the orchestra tends to undermine a great performance with a sometimes flat and disengaged accompaniment. That & a curiously unsatifisfying sound quality forced me to lop off a star, despite Hamelins admirable performance. No matter how good the soloist may be, a 2nd-rate orchestral performance really can drag down the overall quality of a recording, and that is the case here.

Nonetheless, Hamelin is great, and this neglected masterpiece --- one of the most remarkable pieces ever written in the 20th century --- is definitely worth soldiering through. Like Nielsen's symphonies, it is not a piece casually approached, so be prepared for repeated listenings before you can fully appreciate the piece.

Great concerto, monotonous performance.......2004-04-03

Busoni's piano concerto is an enormous colossus with a wonderful sphere throughout, a wide range of moods and, not surprisingly, enormous technical demands. You might need more than one listen to get into the piece, but if you take some effort the results are very rewarding: it is a great masterpiece. Few pianists perform it, for the simple reason that it's so long and difficult. Not surprisingly, Marc-Andre Hamelin is one of the exceptions: after all, he's one of the most technically gifted pianists in history. And indeed, he tackles the concerto as if he's walking in the park. Yet I wonder if Hamelin's style is completely suited to the temperament of Busoni's music. The more serious parts of the music, the wonderful introduction and the central `Pezzo Serioso', fare very well with Hamelin, no doubt. His performance of the dark ringing bells-theme in the second part of the Pezzo Serioso, among others, is simply wonderful. But the Pezzo Giocoso and, even more, the Tarantelle, are not as convincing. Hamelin's playing here is strangely dry and monotonous. He focuses too much on control and a `uniform' sound to bring these pieces really to life. The same is generally true for the orchestra: Mark Elder's CBSO is excellent at the serious parts, especially the introduction which is done marvellously. But in the playful pieces they're mainly detached and neat. So, on the whole, the performance is not as well balanced as it should be.

The sound quality is also a drawback: Hamelin's instrument is excessively dry and sometimes sounds as if it's standing in the gallery of the studio instead of inside (especially in the 5th track, where the thundering piano sound is sometimes hardly audible!). Hamelin has a wonderful tone which saves the sound a little, but it's nevertheless frustrating to hear a piano that never really rises to a full and satisfying sound. And this is not the first time that I've heard a Hyperion recording with disappointing sound engineering. I always wonder why this label asks such high prices for recordings that cannot match the sound of several budget recordings from the sixties. OK, the booklet is very nicely done, with an interesting programme note on the piece by Ronald Stevenson, who wrote this note for John Ogdon's recording of the concerto from the sixties. The comparison between Hamelin and Ogdon becomes inevitable, but I haven't heard the latter (in fact, I haven't heard anyone else in the concerto) so I just can't say. What I can say is that this Hamelin/Elder recording is very interesting at times, but they often miss out the spontaneity and contrasting qualities of the concerto. And the recorded sound is extremely dry and quite frustrating.

So, this is a nice disc to have just to hear Hamelin's superb tonal and technical control, but for a musically better result you might look elsewhere. Ogdon has a reputation in the concerto, and so has Garrick Ohlsson reportedly. But then again, I haven't heard them so these aren't direct recommendations.

Concerto to end all concertos!.......2003-12-04

What a stunning concerto! It contains enough material for at least three "normal" musical works. There's so much in it that to hear it all at once is exhausting enough; what must the pianist feel? It's so nearly a great work and contains some wonderful music, but I think it would have had more chance of widespread success in the repertoire as several separate pieces, but don't ask me how it could be divided. (The choral last movement could perhaps stand on its own, but then, it draws together so many themes from earlier movements that it's clearly a finale piece). Anyway this is a heroic performance by the pianist and orchestra and I recommend everyone interested in challenging music to buy it, but perhaps listen to it piecemeal!

Some Good Orchestrations .......2006-10-14

I purchased this CD primarily for Elmer Bernstein's THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. However, that recording was marginally acceptable. The real gems on this CD are Elmer Bernstein's THE SON OF KATIE ELDER, Tiomkin's "The Green Leaves Of Summer" from THE ALAMO and Jerry Fielding's THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES. THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES was quite a surprise. Also of note was 101 Strings rendition of TV's BONANZA. Better recordings of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, THE COWBOYS and HIGH NOON can be found elsewhere. THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY was ludicrous. 101 Strings should never have attempted to record it.

101 Strings is still around and Alive.......2006-10-05

I remember buying 101 Strings record albums years ago for about a $1.49 or less. They were always a great value. They also sounded pretty good and had good stereo. This CD album of Western Movie music sounds pretty good. The 2 tracks from "Duel In The Sun" remind me of home. They take me back.

A Bargain At $6.98.......2006-02-12

A CD like this is usually twice the price. If you enjoy hearing the themes from some of the great westerns--or if you enjoy great western themes, period (regardless of how good the relevant film may be)--then this one is for you.

A Splendid Souvenir to Remember a Spectacular Performance!.......2003-10-30

Having been fortunate to have seen the English National Opera's production in 1988 of "Orpheus" with Wilson and Pountney's outrageously naughty English text, this highlight CD serves as an audio souvenir. Too bad the ENO didn't have the foresight to film the production-would have made a great DVD. The CD booklet does have a few photos of the sets designed by Gerald Scarfe (who also designed Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album artwork) so you get a taste, combined with the CD selections, of what the production was like.

god moves in a peculiar way.........i am god.............2002-01-17

Offenbach is great anyhow, but this recording is riotous. The translation into English is first-rate, really funny stuff, and the singing is pretty good, too. Very worthwhile.

Orpheus in the Underworld.......2000-03-17

The rewritten lyrics, in English, are some of the wittiest and wicked in operetta. Wilson and Pountney have recaptured the spirit of naughtiness, not a small accomplishment in our licentious times. Though delighted to have the highlights, I wished a CD set or video of the full production were available.

Excerpts.......1999-12-23

This is a collection of excerpts. It is in English and is quite good. The performance of the entire operetta has been discontinued and it is a pity.

Walter Piston: Symphonist and Impressionist.......2005-03-28

I'm so glad Naxos has stepped up to the plate and refused to allow these invaluable Delos recordings simply to vanish. I could go on and on about what a great label Naxos is (commissioning new string quartets by Peter Maxwell Davies, producing a flood of fine recordings of hard-to-find repertoire at budget prices, etc. etc.)--but let's talk about Piston.

The Fourth was the first work I ever heard by him, a radio broadcast by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, I believe--which is fitting since that orchestra gave the symphony's premiere. That broadcast made me a Piston fan for life. The long, flowing melody at the outset and the wonderful "Amur'cn" feel of the piece, evocative at times of jazz and barnyard fiddling and not too far removed from the Copland of, say, Rodeo, were what immediately appealed to me. Not long after I first heard the Fourth, I acquired this recording in its old Delos incarnation and have never parted with it. As I've gotten to know the work--and others by this fine composer--better, I've come to appreciate how skillful Piston's handling of form is (see Scott Morrison's excellent comments on this work's form) and also how in some respects (e.g., his tight, busy, often dissonant counterpoint) he's as close to someone like Hindemith as he is to Copland in populist mode.

The Fourth dates from 1950, making Piston something of a late bloomer as a symphonist--he was 56 at the time, and much younger contemporaries such as Schuman, Diamond, and Mennin had raced ahead of him in the numbers game. But in my opinion no American has produced symphonies of more consistently high quality. If you like the Fourth, be sure to check out the Second and Sixth, available on a companion disc, which Naxos has also reissued. All eight Piston symphonies are currently available, but for my money the three that Schwarz recorded are the most accessible and the most rewarding.

The other three works on this disc are of slightly later vintage. The Capriccio for Harp and String Orchestra (1964) and the Serenata (1956) could both be classed as "minor" works--but they are also high in quality and craftsmanship and serve here as well-chosen fillers. The extremely lucid Capriccio gives us a glimpse of Piston's Gallic side, which must have come pretty naturally, for like Copland, Roy Harris, Virgil Thomson, etc., he was a Boulanger pupil and was also, reportedly, an admirer of Faure, Roussel, and Ravel.

The final work presented here, the Three New England Sketches from 1959, is, along with The Incredible Flutist, Piston's most important descriptive work. In that respect it's quite atypical, as like Brahms Piston usually preferred abstract instrumental forms. But when he put his mind to it, what a wonderful impressionist he made! The opening "Seaside" movement is as evocative of the Maine coast as a painting by Winslow Homer; "Summer Evening" resourcefully conjures up a chorus of insects with the woodwinds; and "Mountains" is perhaps the most exciting and sublime moment in Piston's oeuvre--not to mention a glorious way to conclude this program. Despite this work's relative obscurity, I have to confess to a decided preference for these sketches over the earlier "New England" trilogies by Ives and Schuman.

Thanks Gerard Schwarz (the heir of Koussevitzy and Bernstein!), for sharing this music with us, and thanks Naxos, for keeping it in the catalog.

Piston at His Finest.......2003-06-23

Walter Piston (1894-1976) was a quintessential Down Easter (albeit of Italian descent) and one often thinks of his music reflecting the 'rockbound coast of Maine.' On this disc, though, there is less granite than usual, and more scrumptious almost Romantic harmonies. His Fourth Symphony is, for me, the most accessible of the eight he wrote. It is one of the few in the traditional four movements, each of which has a descriptive title. 'Piacevole' ('Pleasant') is just that; it has a kind of genial bustle to it; it makes me think of 'market-day in the village.' 'Ballando' ('Dancing') certainly does dance, although the meter changes might trip you up if you actually tried to dance to it. It is mostly in a tuneful 3/4, but those measures of 5/8 will throw you! 'Contemplativo,' an adagio, is the most astringent of the four and one has the impression that the thoughts being contemplated are not necessarily pleasant or dancing ones. It rises to a quietly intense brass climax before easing back into gentle meditation. 'Energico' is a sonata-rondo in asymmetric rhythms, typical of Piston at his most neo-classic. The first theme is 'energico,' but is followed by a lyrical second theme. The two are worked out via some fugal passages in a loose sonata-form development before leading back to a quick recapitulation. The overall feeling is one of good-natured scampering.

The first thing one notices about the 10-minute 'Capriccio for Harp and String Orchestra' is the transparent orchestration which allows us to hear the harp clearly. Written for the harp virtuoso, Nicanor Zabaleta, this piece, rather a late one (1964), is a French-influenced divertissement - nothing heavy or portentous here. There is a good deal of frisky counterpoint as well as some quieter, contemplative sections. The ending resumes the banter between harp and orchestra, culminating in exuberant harp glissandi.

'Three New England Sketches,' not to be confused with Ives's 'Three Places in New England' or William Schuman's 'New England Triptych,' contains movements descriptive of three typical scenes in New England. It is very unusual for Schuman to write programmatic music, but here he limns impressions of the 'Seaside' (an inward adagio with slowly lapping waves), a 'Summer Evening' (marked 'delicato'; one pictures fluttering lightning bugs and moths) and 'Mountains' (maestoso, risoluto). Taken together the three sections make a symphony of sorts, particularly since there are thematic and harmonic correspondences between them. 'Mountains' in particular reflects more of the Piston we know from other works; here, finally, there are granite and muscularity; one could strike sparks off the flinty fugal section of 'Mountains.'

This is a superb release in transparent, lifelike sound, a re-issue of recordings made by Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony originally issued on Delos. I think I'd read somewhere that the Second and Sixth Symphonies are due soon; I'll be looking for them.
