Album DescriptionKeith Lockhart is one of America?s best-known young conductors, especially for his performances and recordings as Music Director of the Boston Pops. The Utah Symphony Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording history, with many titles on Angel, Vox and Reference Recordings, among others. Includes world-premiere recording of a colorful, rhythmically catchy piece by composer Gabriela Lena Frank. Frank (b. 1972) is of Peruvian and Jewish heritage, and incorporates elements of both in her compositions, as in her prize-winning An American in Peru. These audience-friendly and percussion-rich scores are a sure recipe for thrilling audiophile sonics, especially in "Prof." Johnson?s transparent HDCD recording.
