Seattle Symphony:Schwarz - Mennin: Moby Dick

...a fine tribute to an inexplicably neglected figure of the century's American music scene.. Chicago TribunePeter Menninan extended song ... making use of sustained voice-weaving. Symphony No. 7 develops in a single movement of remarkable contrasts and intensity. An exception to Mennin's pure compositional approach, the concertato Moby Dick depicts the emotional impact of the novel as a whole.
