William Bolcom ORCHESTRAL WORKS

William Bolcom Fifth Symphony
Violin Concerto in D
Fantasia Concertante

American Composers Orchestra
Dennis Russell Davies, conductor
Sergiu Luca, violin
Janet Lyman Hill, viola
Eugene Moye, cello

All three of the works on this recording owe much to Classical-period music. I don't however consider them Neo- Classical in the 1920s -30s sense (which was usually really Neo-Baroque); here I am using some of the formal benefits of Classical harmonic construction, notably the ability to steer a whole form in a new direction on the turn of a musical card - something not usually discernible in a totally chromatic context.
