John Corigliano is one of America's most distinguished composers whose music, as Leonard Slatkin writes, 'belongs to the world'. Corigliano originally conceived his setting of Bob Dylan songs Mr. Tambourine Man for voice and piano, then orchestrated it (this version can be heard on 8.559331) and some years later transcribed it for chamber forces. The performance heard here is the first recording of this final version. The cycle traces a dramatic journey, from exuberance to premonition, and finally to a vision of the victory of ideas. It is coupled with Vincent Ho's Gryphon Realms, a virtuosic and mystical work for piano trio, coursing with serpent-like motifs and primal energy
Corigliano:
1-7 Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan (2000)
