Synopsis

Product Description
The works on this recording span 25 years from the Sonata for Cello (1982) to unaccompanied minor (2007). Joel Hoffman comments that, Like so many composers of my generation, I have worked, over these years, with a number of stylistic dialects from a hybrid serialism to a tonal/pan-tonal mix to a folk-inspired modal work to a post-minimalist framework. While I m arguably the least qualified to describe the threads of continuity...I do observe two persistent qualities...a pervading lyricism and a rhythmic vitality. Hoffman is currently Professor of Composition at the University of Cincinnati s College-Conservatory of Music, where he is also Artistic Director of its annual new music festival, MusicX.
