  • Description

    Berlin-born Lukas Foss studied music in Paris before settling in Philadelphia in 1937. Though he freely explored diverse compositional styles, three of the works in this recording fall into his early neo-Classical period and exemplify his dictum that "to have a big foot in the future, you've got to have a big foot in the past." Symphony No. 1 in G major is lyrical, bucolic and subtly jazz-influenced, while the Three American Pieces show Aaron Copland's "open air" influence. Foss's Ode expresses his feelings about the loss of American lives during the Second World War, and Renaissance Concerto is a "handshake across the centuries" ingeniously spiced with unexpected harmonic twists.
