Editorial Reviews
Album Description
“Making The Streets Safe for Classical Music, Again.” contains seven exciting new tracks by Chicago composer Brian Conn and is his new music ensemble’s third release. “Streets” features thrilling performances by pianist Kimberly Schmidt, Chicago Symphony Orchestra Chorus soprano Mary Ann Beatty, and other members of the CSO chorus, Elgin Choral Union, and Grant Park Symphony. Mr. Conn’s third release makes a bold statement for harmonic and melodic tonality at a time when most contemporary music offers stark atonality. The CD contains a thrilling work for two piano's deftly executed by Kimberly Schmidt and Linda Camp, this work is followed by a stirring work of German lieder reminiscent of Schubert performed by CSO soprano Mary Ann Beatty. These two songs are followed by a rare solo piano performance by the composer. Next, a chamber work for soprano, violin, cello and piano of a Villa Lobos flavor features soprano, Mary Seip. An emotional, programmatic work for s! trings appears next and depicts the break up of a relationship. The CD closes with beautiful bonus track for voice and strings. This CD is an emotional and exhilarating view of neoromantic contemporary music today.
Making The Streets Safe For Classical Music, Again., Music, The Brian Conn New Music Ensemble, Brian Conn, This CD is a mix of both vocal and instrumental works based in tonality in a neo-romantic style.
