Richard
Lottridge:
Wilder Bassoon |
 In
his GM debut, Mr Lottridge pays tribute to Alec Wilder,
one of America’s most original composers who combined
the music of popular song, jazz, and modern
classical. Wilder won wide compositional
acclaim with his works for chamber symphony, orchestra,
opera, ballet, theatre, film and especially with his
popular songs written for such stars as Frank Sinatra,
Bing Crosby, Ethel Waters and Mildred Bailey.
Mr Sinatra was so enamored with this great composer’s
music that he recorded and conducted Wilder’s pieces for
solo woodwinds with orchestra!
This much anticipated release
beautifully conveys both Wilder’s seriousness and
playfulness, and features the first ever recording of Suite
Number II for Clarinet and includes his rare piece
for four bassoons here recorded as a tour-de-force finale
by the remarkable Mr Lottridge. |
