New Music from Bowling Green, Vol. 5
Huang Ruo (narrator), Jane Rodgers (soprano), Roger Schupp (timpani), Bowling Green Philharmonia, Emily Freeman Brown (conductor)
From the well-known (Ran, Adler, Daugherty) to the less well-known (Bryant, Ruo, Ross), this series continues to offer music of distinction and variety with comments by each of the composers preceding the actual performance. The works evoke programmatic concepts, particularly Shulamit Ran's Vessels of Courage and Hope, inspired by the tragic story of the voyage of the SS. President Warfield (Exodus 1947) during World War II. The ship carried Jewish Holocaust refugees who were refused permission to land in Palestine and were forcibly returned to Germany.
