5.0 out of 5 stars AMY BEACH RE-DISCOVERED!, January 22, 2000

This review is from: Romantic Piano Concerti 6 (Audio CD)

I "discovered" Amy Marcy Cheney Beach's music quite by accident in graduate school, and an older professor dug in his piles of music and found ONE piece "Canticle of the Sun" - and I was bowled over by its power and unique-ness. I tried to order some anthems of hers for my choir, but all were out of print. Recently I discovered Ms. Block's book on the composer and read it - cover to cover. It stated at the end that her works were being revived! I looked on Amazon.com and found serveral CDs. I ordered them all. Her music is fabulous, accesible, virtuostic, well-written and a FRESH approach to late romantic - an approach I have not heard before and that I love. HIGHLY REOMMENDED. (Note to the woman who called this "outdated" - I feel no beautiful and artistic expression has any sort of DATE, and feel this to be a limited and perhaps academic point of view.)
