"The melodic appeal of Copland and the harmonic discipline of Stravinsky ... a gem." -- Audiophile Audition Two monumental twentieth century symphonies, never recorded before. Utterly original, brilliant, and accessible: orchestral colors worthy of Ravel, Stravinskian harmonic surprises, and the gut-wrenching impact of Shostakovich. Douglas Allanbrook (1921-2003) was a brilliant protégé of Nadia Boulanger and Walter Piston, much admired by Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, and Ned Rorem. John Allanbrook is a rising young horn virtuoso and conductor who has performed in concert in France, Germany, Austria, China, and at Aspen.
