Burchett/Lpo/Palmer - Arnold Rosner: Orchestral Music, Volume Two

The musical language of the New York-based Arnold Rosner (1945�2013) clothes the modal harmony and rhythm of pre-Baroque polyphony in rich Romantic colours, producing a style that is instantly recognisable and immediately appealing. This second Toccata Classics album of his orchestral music contrasts the high-spirited Unraveling Dances � a rhapsody with more than a nod to Ravel's Bolero � with the powerful symphonic suite Five Ko-ans for Orchestra and Rosner's dramatic, dark, hieratic setting of Kafka's The Parable of the Law for baritone and orchestra.
