CD Reviews

Gorgeous with a sense of humor

Jeff Abell | Chicago, IL USA | 06/04/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Lou Harrison, who just turned 84 years old, continues to compose music filled with sensual colors and melodies, while keeping a sense of humor about things. (The Foxtrot on this CD is a wacky number filled with tone-clusters.) Silver happens to be the composer's middle name, and not an easy thing to rhyme, but it seems at times that Lou can do anything. Lou clearly deseres the title of Grand Man of American Music (who else is still around that can claim to have worked with Charles Ives, collaborated with John Cage, and was writing "World Music" in the 1940s?). The music of Lou Harrison is a delight for the ear and the heart, as this CD easily demonstrates. Cellist Joan Jeanrenaud gives a bang-up performance here."
