About

Conducting legend José Serebrier, together with the RSNO, performs a programme of works by the hugely influential American composer Samuel Adler, including the world premiere of his Sixth Symphony.

For those unfamiliar with Adler’s catalogue, this album is a great entrance point; for those who are, it adds a valuable first hearing of his Symphony No. 6 which is dynamic and full of energy.

These works are benchmarks of contemporary American composition: monumental in scale and embracing a wide expressive spectrum with ease and visceral power, Adler merges twenty-first century ebullience with an almost classical economy and balance.

In his Concerto For Cello And Orchestra, Adler celebrates all aspects of the instrument, creating a wide emotional and expressive palette for young cellist Maximilian Hornung, who excels as the soloist.

Drifting On Wind And Currents, a memorial tone-poem inspired by the poetry of Louise Glück, rounds off this album of classical music which, while challenging, is rewarding at every turn.

Reviews

August 2016

On this recording conductor José Serebrier brings out cleanly defined lines, pert wind solos and an old-fashioned thick American string sound that harks back to the symphony’s dedicatee, Serge Koussevitzky…Hornung embraces the generous, extrovert solo writing [of the Cello Concerto] and there’s an attractive heft to his sound

10th July 2016

Adler’s sixth symphony is so loud, frantic and brilliantly exciting it will blow you across the room...The cello concerto is initially far more introspective, offering long, singing lines for the soloist, beautifully realised here by Maximilian Hornung. But Adler can’t resist moving things along in the finale.
