WorldView Episode 57: Jennifer Higdon
#ClassicsaDay #PrideMonth Week 3
There are a lot of composers to choose from -- and not just in the modern era.
20th Century Feminine 100% Good
The performances are well-recorded, with a nice balance between the violin and piano. But then, I wouldn't expect anything less from the Haenssler Classic release
Early Jennifer Higdon Works Age Well
In this collection of early chamber works, one can hear hints of the composer Jennifer Higdon would become -- and the amazing amount of talent she already possessed.
Jennifer Higdon: An Exaltation of Larks
From a marketing standpoint, it's a natural -- the all-female Lark Quartet performs music by female composer Jennifer Higdon, including her Lark Quartet.
Cincinnati Symphony Presents American Portraits
American Portraits makes the case that music in this country is not just alive, but full of life as well. Highly recommended.
Engaging music from Higdon and Gandolfi
If you're looking for new music, this CD is a great choice. And if you think there's no new good classical music to be found, this disc is even a better choice. It just might change your mind.
