This review is from: Black Composers Series: Cordero, Walker, Hailstork, Smith (Audio CD)

Just ordered this cd and I heard it on vinal years ago in my local library.The vinal a little static,but I do remember this orchestra by the work of these composers.Very moving ,obscure, and strong sounding!Im looking forward to this cd.Im glad its on cd. Its pretty rare material maybe thats why its pretty high in price.If you love modern moving music I do recomend this. I myself love modern orchestra music so to me its a treasure to the ears. Theres a solo violinist in the passages of this music.
