Summary:
This album presents four world premiere recordings of works by Christopher Rouse (b.1949), the New York Philharmonic's second Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence, three of them composed for the Orchestra and Music Director Alan Gilbert. Taken together, the Fourth Symphony, Prospero's Rooms and Odna Zhizn bear witness to a remarkable period of artistic collaboration between the legendary Orchestra, its celebrated Music Director, and one of America s most evocative composers.
