Frederick Converse: American Sketches
Sep 13th, 2012 by dcronin
“In the first decades of the 20th century, Frederick Converse (1871-1940) was known as one of the outstanding American composers of classical music, but his work is largely forgotten today. …Keith Lockhart…draws excellent, dramatic performances from the expert BBC Concert Orchestra. Dutton’s sound is detailed, clean, and spacious. The album should appeal to fans of late Romanticism and anyone interested in the development of Western classical music in America.” –All Music Guide
