Music from Copland House’s widely-praised recording debut: a pioneering two-disc set of the first cycle of Copland’s complete published chamber music (for up to six players). Explore the breadth and evolution of his artistry through these under-explored works, which are “as characteristic as his better-known orchestral and theater/film music, spacious in texture and sonority, natural in instrumental idiom and above all vital in tune and rhythm at any speed” (The Los Angeles Times). Ranging from his French-influenced creative origins through jazz and Modernism to 12-tone composition, album highlights include the impressive Sextet, Piano Quartet, and World Premiere of the piano trio version of the Prelude from his Organ Symphony. Music from Copland House is joined by the incomparable Borromeo String Quartet, outstanding guest artists, and Grammy-winning producer Judith Sherman.
