Timothy Reynish: International Repertoire Recordings 7
Artist: Timothy Reynish
Title: International Repertoire Recordings 7
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
If you were the conductor or manager of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and were charged with devising a festival of music from the past hundred years, you would probably look first at the American contribution of Gershwin, Copland, Schuman, Bernstein, Piston, Cage, Carter, Reich, Adams, Corigliano, del Tredici and Danielpour, and then put them into context against Hindemith, Bartok, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Lutoslawski, Ligeti, Berio, Britten, Tippett, Gorecki, Paart, Takemitsu, Ades, Turnage, in fact you would take a world overview. With a medium such as the wind ensemble, still a minority love, still way down below symphony orchestra, opera, chamber music, jazz, R&B and folk in terms of critical interest and popular acclaim, we desperately need this international approach in our repertoire and performance standards. We need as Gunther Schuller puts it, 'to get out of academia and enter the real world of international music.'
