Tchaikovsky & Tchaikovsky 6.1

Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, Lawrence Golan (conductor)

Catalog #: TROY1027
Release Date: May 1, 2008
Format: Digital
Orchestral

This recording of music by Peter Boyer centers around a commission by conductor Lawrence Golan to write a work to be performed in concert immediately following Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony. The idea was that the new work, while not intended to be in the style of Tchaikovsky, would share some musical material so as to be intrinsically connected to it and find a natural place in concert programming. Peter Boyer, born in 1970, received his D.M.A. from the Hartt School. He studied with John Corigliano, then relocated to Los Angeles where he studied film music with Elmer Bernstein. His music has received more than 200 performances by 70 orchestras. His major work Ellis Island: The Dream of America received a Grammy Award nomination.

Reviews

  • "This is really a fine CD with some traditional and not so traditional music that is wonderful to listen to. The Moravian Philharmonic is a fine orchestra, and so is its conductor, Lawrence Golan. It is refreshing to hear a recording of a well-known work of concert repertoire done so honestly and so beautifully."
