| Description: | Few contemporary artists have been as significant as Pulitzer Prize and GRAMMY Award winner Christopher Rouse, whose imaginative approach made him one of the most frequently performed composers during his lifetime. The Concerto for Orchestra is a ā??hyper-concertoā?? that gives each player a chance to shine, while the mournful intimacy and passion of Supplica unfolds somewhat like the slow movement of a Bruckner or Mahler symphony. Rouseā??s Fifth Symphony fondly recalls Beethovenā??s mighty Fifth but blurs the lines between tradition and modernity, transporting the listener from turbulence to serenity. It was described as ā??brilliant, exciting and at times hauntingly beautifulā?¯ in The Dallas Morning News. - NASHVILLE S.O./GIANCARLO GUERREROFew contemporary artists have been as significant as Pulitzer Prize and GRAMMY Award winner Christopher Rouse, whose imaginative approach made him one of the most frequently performed composers during his lifetime.
