[…] performance, and Messiaen had personally selected Ozawa to direct it for him. And I was present in Symphony Hall in 1981 for the premiere of Roger Sessions’s Concerto for Orchestra, which Ozawa used, along with Beethoven’s Ninth, as a season opener — a thrilling experience, particularly when I remembered that Ozawa, like his predecessors Steinberg and Leinsdorf, were not much interested in American composers. But he did make a record of Griffes’s Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan, triumphantly resurrecting that masterpiece from obscurity after 56 years. If not everybody was happy with Ozawa’s administration of the Tanglewood Music Center, there’s no doubt that his imprimatur brought that beloved summer institution into flower. The namesake hall proves it.” The post appeared first on The Boston Musical Intelligencer.

Garrick Ohlsson (Hyperion)Had he not died of influenza in 1920 at the age of just 35, Charles Tomlinson Griffes might now be seen as one of the great pioneering iconoclasts of 20th-century American music, up there with Ives, Ruggles and Cowell. Though Griffes is best remembered now for a couple of orchestral pieces – The White Peacock and The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan – it's his piano music that most clearly demonstrates the way in which he commuted between the different currents of modernism in the first two decades of the century. There are pieces here that combine the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel with the obsessive thematic working of Scriabin; others, a bit later, that suggest the primitivism of Stravinsky and Prokofiev, and even occasionally hint at the Second Viennese School. If that suggests a bit of a hotch-potch, it underestimates the charm and attractiveness of the pieces; as […]

Naxos 559164, Tr 11. 12:29 Impressionism is an imprecise, even controversial term, the leading “impressionist” Debussy having none of it. Each of its elements—open form, reliance on tone color over melody, unpredictable harmonies with modal scales—is challengeable, and Debussy’s music is awash with counter-examples. But everyone agrees […]
