Description
Music for One Horn on CD
A longtime member of two of the world's most renowned orchestras - The New York Philharmonic and The Philadelphia Orchestra, hornist Howard Wall also performs and records with the All-Star Orchestra, and is an avid chamber music proponent. Among the 22 tracks in his solo album "Music for One Horn", 16 are world-premiere recordings. This is a kaleidoscopic collection of eclectic styles and genres ranging from Charles Koechlin's refined impressionism and Elliott Carter's sophisticated modernism, to Phillip Ramey's Bartokian reflections, Astor Piazzolla's melancholic tango mood, Elizabeth Raum's idiomatic virtuosity, Pascal Proust's exalted dance rhythms, the poetic inspirations of Georges Barboteu, the otherworldly mysticism of Alice Gomez, the profound emotion of Lev Kogan's Kaddish prayer, the stunning beauty and unique rhythms of Bulgarian folk music and Venezuelan joropo.
