Works by Stamp, Krumenauer & Maslanka
Karyl Carlson (soprano), Illinois State University Wind Symphony, Stephen Steele (conductor)
This latest release in this remarkable series by the Illinois State Winds presents two major Symphonies by popular veterans of the field, Jack Stamp and David Maslanka, and introduces the music of the young American composer Kevin Krumenauer. Blue on Red explores the transition from grief and loss to life and celebration. The two colors represent a strong sense of emotion during the opening and closing movements. The renowned David Diamond was both a friend and mentor to Jack Stamp, the Professor of Music and Director of Wind Studies at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Diamond himself had written an Elegy in Memory of Ravel for winds in 1937, and it is fitting that Stamp created this tribute to Diamond within the context of the wind orchestra. Finally we hear one of the major works of the repertoire, David Maslanka's Symphony No. 2, as conductor Steele continues his series devoted to the music of this composer (previous releases are on TROY821, 774/75, 600 and 500)

"David Maslanka is one of the finest American composers today, bar none. His music is always highly creative, beautiful, and wastes no space on the page whatsoever. ...recommendable for the terrific music and esprit d'corps by all concerned."
