It is hard to imagine more committed advocacy than from Gilbert and the NYPO
About
This album presents four world premiere recordings of works by Christopher Rouse (b. 1949), the New York Philharmonic’s second Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence, three of them composed for the orchestra and Music Director Alan Gilbert. Taken together, the Fourth Symphony, Prospero’s Rooms and Odna Zhizn bear witness to a remarkable period of artistic collaboration between the legendary orchestra, its celebrated Music Director, and one of America’s most evocative composers.
