Collage New Music Ensemble:
The Music of Louis Gruenberg |
 From perhaps the greatest recent
American composer to have fallen into obscurity, the
music of Louis Gruenberg (1884-1964) ignited the second
quarter of this century with its bold blending of
European traditions and uniquely American strains of
jazz.
Several of Gruenberg’s most
important works are collected here in superb
performances by New England’s prestigious new music
ensemble, Collage. Gunther Schuller conducts. |
