Orchestra Now- Classics Of American Romantici (CD)
George Frederick Bristow and William Henry Fry constituted the first generation of major, native-born composers of instrumental music in the United States. Both were fierce proponents for American music as composers, writers, and performers. Of particular note: Bristow's Symphony No. 4 the "Arcadian" is recorded here in it's entirety for the first time. The 1967 recording made by Karl Krueger with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra made large cuts in the first and last movements, reducing the length of the piece by at least ten minutes.
Tracklist:
- Symphony No. 4 "Arcadian"~Emigrants' Journey Across the Plains
- Symphony No. 4 "Arcadian"~Halt on the Prairie
- Symphony No. 4 "Arcadian"~Indian War Dance and Attack by Indians
- Symphony No. 4 "Arcadian"~Arrivai at the New Home, Rustic Festivities, and Dancing
- Niagara Symphony
