| |  | Music for a Time of War
Oregon Symphony, Carlos Kalmar This album features the programme performed by the Oregon Symphony Orchestra on the occasion of its Carnegie Hall debut. It was a triumphant occasion and was the highlight of the Spring of Music Festival at Carnegie Hall. The New Yorker reported the concert as “one of the most gripping events of the season.” “Music for a Time of War is a compelling and inspired example of intelligent programme planning, and it’s extremely well played by the Oregon Symphony conducted by Carlos Kalmar… The live recorded sound is exceptionally vibrant.” International Record Review, February 2012 “The Unanswered Question is given a refined and cultivated reading...Sylvan is a most eloquent soloist...Kalmar’s interpretation [of the Vaughan Williams] is probing. He controls the stretches of quiet music very well while the climaxes have strength.” MusicWeb International, July 2012 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
