This review is from: George Crumb: A Haunted Landscape / William Schuman: Three Colloquies for Horn & Orchestra - New York Philharmonic / Arthur Weisberg / Zubin Mehta (Audio CD)
I was present for the premieres many years ago of George Crumb's "A Haunted Landscape" and William Schuman's "Three Colloquies for Horn and Orchestra," of course, on different days. Of all Crumb's pieces, this is the one I like the best. It is not diffuse but rather is concentrated and structured. Some of Crumb's other pieces lose me. This one never has. It is eerie like many of his other works, but it is also fun and fascinating.
The Schuman has three movements, slow, fast, slow. The last movement utilizes material from what was originally the slow movement in the first of three versions of his violin concerto. It is Schuman at his lyrical best. It is really a concerto for horn and orchestra. It is my favorite horn concerto. It goes by so fast because there is no padding. Over four decades I have heard numerous premieres by this orchestra. These works have long been two of my favorite late twentieth century orchestral works. |
