This fifth instalment in »Naxos's continuing and continuously revelatory series devoted to Barber's music« (The Daily Telegraph), conducted by
Gramophone Artist of the Year 2003 Marin Alsop, features the ripely romantic Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a »lyric rhapsody« for soprano and orchestra, and the rarely-recorded Toccata Festival for organ and orchestra which, with its fast, furious opening Fanfare and virtuosic cadenza, is a veritable tourdeforce for the soloist.
Reviews
FonoForum 08/04: »Marin Alsop betrachtet diese Musik mit antiromantisierender Distanz und untersucht ihre Vielschichtigkeit. Unterstützt wird sie dabei durch ein glänzend disponiertes Schottisches Nationalorchester und ein breit gefächertes Klangbild, das kaum Mischklang zuläßt.«Disk 1 von 1 (CD)
