Leon Kirchner: Orchestral Works
Mar 12th, 2012 by gcunniff
“A dominant figure in American music throughout most of the twentieth century, composer Leon Kirchner wrote a large quantity of music which, although stylistically tied to the work of Arnold Schoenberg and the Second Viennese School, remains powerfully individual in expression, and free of the systematic use of 12-tone techniques. In addition, he proved himself to be a formidable pianist, and a skilled conductor of his own works and the established classics.” –All Music Guide
