3.0 out of 5 stars I found the works uneven, September 19, 2002

This review is from: Corigliano: Piano Concerto / Ticheli: Radiant Voices Postcard (Audio CD)

A virtuoso piano concerto in the LARGE mould, I enjoyed the Corigliano a lot. Excellent playing and imaginative use of the instrument, make this an excelent choice if you are fond of Concerti like Britten or Barber - allthough this work has less of the latter's "Neo-Romantic leanings" (whatever exactly they may be). I am still trying to figure out the other works by Ticheli. I was listening to it on the freeway and thinking "some of this is so ugly". Perhaps I missed the point. Clever and virtuoso it surely is, but sitting here I can not recall a single texture or melody, and would not recognise it if you played it for me now. Pity, since this is theonly recording of the Concerto I have seen recently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ticheli's work excellent, March 21, 2000

This review is from: Corigliano: Piano Concerto / Ticheli: Radiant Voices Postcard (Audio CD)

This cd pulls out a great recording work, especially Postcard. Even in this arrangement, Ticheli still maintains the uniqueness of the original Postcard for concert band. But the orchestra version rises above it all. Excellent CD and recommend to any music lover
