Piston: Symphonies Nos. 2 And 6 Seattle Symphony / Gerard Schwarz [ Naxos American Classics / CD - released 20/Jun/2008 ] "There is nothing academic about Piston at his best, which these two performances of some of his best symphonies eloquently attest.

DAVID DIAMOND
Diamond: Symphony No. 8 / Suite from the Ballet TOM Seattle Symphony, Gerard Schwarz [ Naxos American Classics / CD - released 30/Jul/2008 ] "To sum up: Diamond's music is refreshingly free from gimmickry and razzmatazz. And these are seemingly exemplary performances by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra under their long-standing chief. So why hesitate?" -- David Gutman, Gramophone, 05/04 |
