Novak: Piano Concerto (CD review)
Also, At Dusk; Toman and the Wood Nymph. Jan Bartos, piano; Jakub Hrusa, Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra. Supraphon SU-4284-2.By Bill HeckThe title of this release, Piano Concerto, Toman and the Wood Nymph, needs a little clarification. Yes, the first work on the disk is Novak’s one and only piano concerto, but that’s not the real highlight: the concerto is a very early work, enjoyable but not truly representative of the composer’s more mature style. Next, the second piece that you’ll hear is not in the title at all: a four-movement work for solo piano entitled At Dusk. Finally, the last work on the disk, Toman, not only is the featured item, but also the last composed. What doesn’t need clarification is that all three pieces are worth hearing and well-played to boot. (One might accuse Supraphon of burying the lede; as that last sentence shows, I won’t!)With those clarifications out of the way, […]

Audiophile Audition Reviews CD "Moments of Arrival" Conducted by Julius P. Williams
Julius Penson Williams Composer and Conductor http://www.juliuspwilliams.com/ Moments of Arrival = Symphonic works and songs by ROUSSANOVl; McQUILLAN; WILLIAMS; QUALLIONTINE; BURNS – Linda Lister, soprano/ Chorus of Prague/ Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra/ Julius P. Williams – Centaur Audiophile Audition May 28, 2018 Gary Lemco Russian-American composer Elena Roussanova, Associate Professor in Composition at the Berklee College of Music, has a notable symphonic work in her three-movement Moments of Arrival, a celebration of those inspiring impulses that arise spontaneously, either through Nature or through human interactions. The musical syntax, tonal and highly suggestive of the American influences of Copland and Creston, achieves an appealing melos as well as rhythmic engagement.
