Morton Gould: Concerto for Orchestra
Findlay Cockrell (piano), Albany Symphony Orchestra, David Alan Miller (conductor)
This recording offers a tantalizing sampling of Morton Gould's work from the vibrant decade of the mid 1930s and '40s, featuring two of his trademark Symphonettes, the gutsy Concerto for Orchestra and his earliest big orchestral work -- Chorale and Fugue in Jazz -- presented in full for the first time since its 20-year-old composer wrote it with Interplay, the diminutive concerto holding center stage.

"...this disc is so much fun and was so much needed. Only 'squares from Delaware' should stay away. All others can join in the jamboree."
