5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh & American!!, January 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Conversations in Silence (Audio CD)

This is one exciting CD for several reasons. For those looking for orchestral sound that is uniquely American, Conni Ellisor provides the sound that has been missing since the end of Aaron Copland's career. In addition to Ellisor's compositions, the other tracks on this CD are an unusual and beautiful fit that compliments the other pieces. As is frequently the case in music, artists (Nashville Chamber Orchestra) and composers (Ellisor) off the beaten path are a national treasure. I use this CD for inspiration, relaxation, and restoration. One of the top 3 in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Nashville Chamber presents a captivating selection, October 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Conversations in Silence (Audio CD)

I had the opportunity to listen to this recording on the local classical station in St. Louis, KFUO. The works are captivating, energetic, and well presented. The tracks build and climax with an inspiring end in "Blackberry Winter". I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and must now purchase this CD for my collection. Thank you for your interest in my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars terrific CD, May 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Conversations in Silence (Audio CD)

I first heard "Blackberry Winter"on the radio, I knew I would have to own it. As beautiful as that piece is, the others match it. A masterful job was done of assembling new and older, obscure works. This CD is a real treasure.
