I cannot say enough about how wonderful this disc is. Especially @Stewartgoodyear's riveting performance of the Hailstork concerto, which contains one of the loveliest slow movements you'll ever hear. And Ms. Falletta's conducting is truly inspired. Buy this!
Listen to the music of contemporary American composers Adolphus Hailstork and @dannyelfman on the latest Naxos release from the @BPOrchestra. Now streaming on @AppleMusic.
