| Music
for the Underdogs of the Orchestra |
Newly released on CD!
Digitally remastered.
Just from the ‘tongue-in-cheek’ title, one can tell that this is
a record with a sense of humor. It is also a record of
worthwhile music played by very accomplished musicians.
Gunther Schuller has always felt that the
underdogs were in fact beautiful and richly versatile
instruments capable of a wide range of expression and
virtuosity.
