Biography

A product of America's rich aural folk tradition as well as classical music, Mark O'Connor's creative journey began at the feet of a pair of musical giants. The first was the folk fiddler and innovator who created the modern era of American fiddling, Benny Thomasson; the second, French jazz violinist, considered one of the greatest improvisers in the history of the violin, Stephane Grappelli.… Read more in Amazon's Mark O'Connor Store

5.0 out of 5 stars From Country to Classics, May 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Americana Symphony (Dig) (Audio CD)
Marc O'Connor first won fame as the U.S. National Junior Fiddling Champion, and I own an autographed copy of his debute album circa age 15 or 16. I am also a fan of both Blue Grass and classical music, of which I've found a suprising number of co-conspirators over the years. O'Connor, in later life, has turned to composing in the classical mode and has incorporated the themes of American folk music into his work. He is as logical a successor to Aaron Copeland as I've heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Americana the beautiful., July 30, 2009
This review is from: Americana Symphony (Dig) (Audio CD)
A truly inspired album. If ever you go touring America's great places you should be sure to have this playing. It praises and captures the American landscape and essence like few other albums ever achieve.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Americana Symphony (Dig) (Audio CD)
It is hard to rate this piece. Should is be rated compared to Copland, Dvorak, or Thile? It is a very significant symphony and one of the best classical compositions is recent years. Mark is such a talented musician and I hope he produces more of these efforts.
