Florence Price: Symphony 4 - William Dawson: Negro Folk Symphony (streaming review)
by Bill Heck Florence Price: Symphony 4; William Dawson: Negro Folk Symphony. Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Philadelphia Orchestra. DG CC 72970 A few weeks ago, I was first exposed to the music of William Dawson (1899 - 1990) in the form of a concert featuring the Negro Folk Symphony. What an introduction that was! This is the kind of work that, as the saying goes, brings down the house, and it certainly did that evening. Naturally I went looking for a recording of the piece only to find that it was part of a recent DG release, and thus an obvious choice for a review here. Nice coincidence, eh? This release is the final one of a series of recordings produced by DG featuring orchestral music of Florence Price played by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Indeed, one of the CDs in this series (Symphonies 1 & 3) was already reviewed […]

Cal Performances has done a pre-announcement of one item on the 2024-25 schedule: the Vienna Philharmonic will be back, this time conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, whom, as well all know, has't got enough to do as music director of both the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera. At least it's not Christian Thielemann, who led the worst concert I have ever heard from an orchestra and conductor of their respective statures.The programming for their concerts, though - WTF. The most recent work is Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben, composed in 1898. Nothing from the 20th century, let alone the 21st century. Not to mention that it's all by white guys sorta like the orchestra, all of them dead.Vienna Philharmonic […]
