Reviews
- “
…I was astonished to discover that these are first recordings for both works; indeed, as significant as they are, they are demanding to perform and have been neglected by orches-tras for years. The ever-reliable David Alan Miller is a continuous advocate for contempo-rary American composers and is the ideal con-ductor to resurrect these gems. He has helped make the Albany Symphony the leading Amer-ican orchestra for new music. Soprano Hila Plitmann leads with charismatic, zany, and theatrical performances, handling the consid-erable acrobatics and many character voices with ease. An important recording and an electric delight.
