Arthur Foote
Francesca da Rimini
Seattle Symphony Gerard Schwarz
Arthur Foote?s individualistic style recalls the classical structure of Brahms while reveling in exotic harmonies and colorful orchestrations typical of late romanticism. Foote?s ?Symphonic Prologue,? Francesca da Rimini, based on the story of the doomed lovers Francesca and Paolo as immortalized in Dante?s Inferno, is a thrillingly original musical vision, and offers a fascinating comparison to Tchaikovsky?s well known tone poem of the same name. Also featured on this CD are exquisite character pieces inspired by the poetry of the medieval Persian mystic Omar Khayyám. MOZART: Don Giovanni One of opera?s timeless classics. Mozart?s music and the words of his greatest collaborator, Da Ponte, are brought to life in Francesca Zambello?s engrossing production for The Royal Opera. Simultaneously available on both DVD and high definition Blu-ray disc.

BeRTOlOZZi: Bridge Music Bridge Music is a composition in 10 movements using only the sounds of the bridge itself to create a unique sound art installation. To create Bridge Music, Bertolozzi recorded hundreds of sounds on the bridge?s various surfaces, catalogued them by pitch and location, and then set about the task of creating a virtual instrument from which he could turn his vision into sound.

ZEMLINSKY
Lyric Symphony Houston Symphony ? Hans Graf Alexander von Zemlinsky?s best known work, the seductive Lyric Symphony, inspired Alban Berg, who quoted its third movement in his own Lyric Suite, three movements of which Berg himself arranged for string orchestra. Zemlinsky?s richly scored symphony, a late-Romantic song cycle by any other name, recalls both Mahler?s Song of the Earth (8.550933) and Schoenberg?s Gurre-Lieder (8.557518-19).
SIERRA
Missa Latina ?Pro Pace? Milwaukee Symphony ? Andreas Delfs Commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, DC, Roberto Sierra?s Missa Latina ?...is remarkably organic in its expression? the Missa Latina bring pleasure to a great many listeners. (Indeed, the ?Sanctus? could almost be turned into a pop song)? I can?t imagine anybody who starts listening to the Missa Latina turning it off before it is over.? (The Washington Post) PG
