Ann Crumb (soprano) Orchestra 21, James Freeman Using more than 100 percussion instruments, along with amplified piano, The River of Life presents
one of Crumb's most colorful and inventive scores to date. Unto the Hills was released by Bridge on
an earlier disc, but, after the composer went on to write three more volumes of his American
Songbooks, he returned to the score of Unto the Hills, adding another song to give the cycle its final
shape. This song has been added to the earlier recording, and includes the composer himself
performing as narrator. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
