CD Reviews

Hovhaness and Spirituality

02/21/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a remarkably appealing program of music showing the most spiritual side of Hovhaness. Of particular interest to me was the Holy City which creates a truly heavenly atmosphere with its use of string glissandos and the typical agitated figures so common to Hovhaness textural language. The combination of strings, harp, trumpet and chime seems so unlikely until you hear this performance. The string tone of the Slovak Radio Orchestra is full and rich in this recording. The overall sound is splendid and the repertoire includes works from several decades of Hovhaness'life. Kerry Stratton and the Slovak Radio Orchestra make a great case for Hovhaness as America's musical spiritualist."

Hovanhess proves in this CD that what matters most is melody
