CD Reviews

Chant of '42 - WOW!!

Douglas Brown | Livonia [MI] & Toledo [OH] USA | 01/02/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an entertaining, often endearing, collection of Americana. But what makes this album unmissable is Paul Creston's powerful "Chant of '42." Creston is certainly one of America's premiere, though vastly underrated, composers (try the Naxos disc of the first three symphonies for a terrific, low-priced sampling), and the "Chant" alone is worth the price of this album. Get it!"
