Search - Bournemouth Symphony Chorus, Simon Callow, Gary Karr :: Serebrier: Symphony No. 1; Double Bass Concerrto; Violin Concerto

'When Naxos suggested making a
new recording of my music, the idea
was to give a full panoply and to
emphasize the changes in style that
occurred over time, from the very
early First Symphony, through the
experimental years (while working
with George Szell in Cleveland as the
orchestra's Composer-in-Residence),
the lighter side with two short concert
tangos, and finally a score for a film
that did not get made,' notes
acclaimed composer-conductor José
Serebrier. 'In my music, while the
style changed in the 1960s and 1970s,
the 'message' remained the same.
The lyrical line, the atmosphere, and
a certain Slavic undertone are there
in all these works.'
