"The Frost Symphony, which has had favorable coverage in ARG, is new to me. They have a warm, mellow sound and do a terrific job with the contemporary Americana in this program. Three of the pieces are elegies: Ellen Taafe Zwilich's highly affecting Elegy for Flute and Strings, which displays the elegant, bluesy flute lines of Trudy Kane ; Dorothy Hindman's imaginative and sinister Setting Century, which explores the relativity and inexorability of time; and Scott Stinson's chorale-like Brother of Sleep, displaying glowering brass and violent percussion. Lansing McLoskey's Chanson pour Cordes also has a mournful ambience. Livening up the proceedings is the 1941 Alto Saxophone Concerto by the eclectic, underrated Paul Creston, displaying the virtuosity of Dale Underwood "
