Description:

Symphonies Nos.1 And 4 by F.B. Price, released 7 January 2019. This version of Symphonies Nos.1 And 4 comes as a 1xCD. - FORT SMITH SYMPHONY/JOHN JETER / AKL 21

Florence Price was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and studied at the New England Conservatory, but it was in Chicago that her composing career accelerated. The concert in 1933 at which her Symphony No. 2 in E minor was premiered was the first time a major American orchestra had performed a piece written by an African American woman. Influenced by Dvorak and Coleridge-Taylor, she drew on the wellspring of Negro spirituals and vernacular dances, full of lyricism and syncopation. The Symphony No. 4 in D minor demonstrates her tight ensemble writing, her distinct sense of orchestral color, her Ellingtonian 'jungle style' language and her penchant for the 'juba' dance. Founded in 1923, the Fort Smith Symphony is the oldest orchestra in the state of Arkansas. The orchestra is a per-service professional ensemble drawn from musicians throughout the region. The orchestra performs classics, pops and educational concerts in the ArcBest Performing Arts Center in downtown Fort Smith.

World Premiere Recording of "Symphony No. 4" The CD has a slightly different design than the US-Version and includes a "Made in Germany" print on it. Recorded: 13-14 May 2018 at ArcBest Performing Arts Center, Fort Smith, Arkansas, USA.
