About

This recording presents brand new concertos from two vibrant and contrasting American composers. Adolphus Hailstork’s First Piano Concerto draws on his African American heritage to create a work brimming with energy and high spirits. The Violin Concerto “Eleven Eleven” by Danny Elfman – renowned for his many film scores including Batman – has its roots in the composer’s rock, film and television background, but also illustrates his love for the music of Shostakovich and Prokofiev.

Reviews

“…This is a clever coupling by Falletta and Naxos, combining as it does two modern American concertos that will certainly be unfamiliar to the vast majority of listeners, who will thoroughly enjoy themselves with the results…”

Paul Corfield Godfrey – Musicwebinternational.com - 10 July 2023

“Here are two concertos, separated by 25 years, by twentieth century composers in sound that is very good in detail and in perspective. The performances which have been taken down live (presumably with some patching) are confident and a delight, especially so in the case of the Hailstork… The Hailstork Concerto is unashamedly joyous and constantly leans in to enlist your head and heart. Keep an eye (and ear) on Hailstork.”

Rob Barnett – Musicwebinternational.com – 21 June 2023

“…[Goodyear] throws himself into the prolix keyboard-writing, aided and abetted by the Buffalo Philharmonic with their conductor JoAnn Falletta, than whom there is no one better in relaying the warm hearted and exuberant nature of this concerto. I loved it.”

Adrian Edwards – Gramophone magazine – May 2023
