The
American composer, Peter Lieberson, died in 2011, leaving an
extensive legacy of orchestral, chamber and vocal music. I've been
listening to his 'Piano Concerto No. 3' in a new recording by by
Steven Beck and the Odense orchestra, conducted by Scott Yoo. The
three movements are based on poems by Pablo Neruda, St Francis of
Assisi and Charles Wright. This is clearly modern classical music,
but with the grandeur of a 19th century romantic concerto.
Serious, thoughtful and intriguing. I look forward to exploring other
music by Peter Lieberson.
