Featuring four works spanning half a century by pioneering American composer George Walker (1922–2018), this album demonstrates his wide-ranging musical vision and meticulously-crafted sound worlds. Franz Welser-Möst believes Walker’s music deserves more attention “because of the quality. ... It's tricky, it’s difficult, it’s demanding, it’s challenging, and there is an intensity and a real voice which I enjoy enormously.”
Recorded live in Mandel Concert Hall in October 2020, October 2021, and March 2022.
