The duo's shiny harmonies eventually grabbed the attention of MCA Records, which lined up a slate of producers and released a self-titled debut earlier this month. and uplifting. Free Press pop music critic By Ben Edmonds, Free Press special writer Ruth Crawford Seeger "The World of Ruth Crawford Seeger." Jenny Lin, piano. (Bis) Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-53) was one of America's most innovative composers. But she wrote only about a dozen mature works before largely giving up composing in the 1930s, and her legacy remains obscure. Her piano music charts the breathtaking speed with which she moved from early works for children to the flowering of her thorny, ultra-modern voice, represented here by the Nine Preludes and Study in Mixed Accents. Crawford's style atonal, polyrhythmic, dense with freely conceived melodic counterpoint and prescient pre-compositional schemes may be brainy, but it packs a bracing emotional wallop. Pianist Jenny Lin gives the recording premieres of many pieces here, and Lin deserves a grand huzzah not only for collecting all of Crawford's piano music, published and unpublished, under one roof but also for essaying it with clarity, nuance and a patron's devotion.

Extractions: click on any cover to go directly to its review FIELD: Piano Concertos 5 And 6. Benjamin Frith, piano. Northern Sinfonia conducted by David Haslam. Naxos 8.554221 It must have been hard to live as a composer in the late Eighteenth and early Nineteenth century; after all your peers were Beethoven and Schubert! Such was the plight of the Irish-born composer John Field (1782-1837). On the other hand, Field had a successful career as a pianist. Not of the virtuoso Liszttian ilk, but rather one whose strength was color and sensitivity of touch. These characteristics emerge in Field's Fifth and Sixth Piano Concertos, The Fifth (1817) has the subtitle 'fire by lightning,' but the source of the title is unknown. It opens with a resounding Beethoven-like chord, but the music that follows more closely resembles the piano concertos of Chopin. The piano's role emphasizes delicate nuances, sonorous and intricate melodies, convincingly played by Benjamin Frith. The orchestral passages appropriately contrast the piano's role with drama and tension. The work brims with felicitous melodies and dramatic flourishes that engage the mind and heart. The Sixth Piano Concerto (1819) opens with a stately orchestral introduction that extends into an engaging 20 minute dialogue between piano and orchestra. A lovely, delicate larghetto is followed by an energetic but finely spun rondo. These concertos combine the drama and tension of Beethoven with the lyric delicacy of Chopin. Both are immensely enjoyable: they express the exuberant spirit of a composer who knew and loved the piano. Benjamin Frith plays with the freshness of discovery and wit that serve the composer perfectly. The Northern Sinfonia accompanies enthusiastically and the sound is clear and close, slightly wanting in reverberation. Those wanting to explore Field further are advised to try his Nocturnes, lovely, engaging pieces that admirably predate those of Chopin.

Unlike some composers, his works don't all sound alike either. The opening scherzo, Bacchanale, is an exciting symphonic romp. Divertissement is a laugh-a-minute score originally created for a comedy, and the music now known as the Symphonie marine was the first score written by any composer in Europe for sound movies. Finally, Escales takes us on an almost visual musical tour of the Mediterranean with evocative stops at Rome-Palermo, Tunis-Nefta, and Valencia. The recorded sound is fully up to the picture-painting challenge, and the cost of your voyage is minimal. - John Sunier Now for some highly unusual piano music on a couple of must-have CDs = Piano Dance - A 20th Century Portrait - Gloria Cheng, piano - Telarc CD-80549

Extractions: The Formosa Chamber Music Society presented a brilliantly impressive recital by the young Taiwanese-born American pianist, Jenny Lin at Weill Hall on October 25. [...] Not only was her recital commandingly played; it was both substantial repertoire-wise, and pianistically daunting as well! April Preludes, Op. 13, a set of four preludes composed in 1937 by the short lived Vitezslava Kapralova [1915-1940], a holdover from Ms. Lin's recital at Miller Theatre, launched the evening in auspicious fashion. These Kapralova pieces again impressed as music of substantial beauty and emotional weight, all the more so when played with such warmth, organic integrity and sincerity. When confronted with unfamiliar music, this writer is always tempted to look for ways to pigeonhole it with more famous fare (I was thinking of a synthesis of Szymanowski and Prokofiev, but had to concede that Kapralova marched to her own drummer). [...] The capacity audience was brilliantly enthusiastic and for very good reason. This was a memorable concert.

Extractions: Ruth Crawford Seeger Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) is considered by many to be the most significent American female composer of the 20th Century. Jenny Lins stunning new recording of the piano music of Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) again raises an intriguing, if unanswerable, question. Had Seeger not abandoned her composing career Jenny Lin early, would she have matured into Americas first major woman composer, an artistic force regarded as an equal with Copland, Barber or even Stravinsky? What is known is this: In 1931, after a composing career that spanned barely nine years, Seeger composed her stunningly original String Quartet, an undisputed masterpiece of 20th century avant garde music. The next year, she married her teacher, Charles Seeger, which was followed a year later by the birth of her first child, Michael. In 1933, she stopped composing and turned instead to the task of teaching music to children and of collecting, transcribing, arranging, and publishing folk songs projects she would continue until her untimely death from cancer at the age of fifty-two. As a composer, she is remembered today as a member of the 1920s musical avant garde, who left a small but impressive body of original music, and was the first woman to be awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship Award for Music. Her other legacy extends into folk music. Collaborating with the famous folk song collectors, John and Alan Lomax in the 1930s, she emerged as a central figure in the American folk music revival, pioneering the use of American folk songs in the children's music education. Radicalized by the Depression, she spent much of the next two decades working for cultural change, along with her husband and her stepson, the folk singer-activist, Pete Seeger. Her three books of songs for children have been in print since the early 1950s and they will continue to be classics.

Extractions: H arry the Horse had the odds about 5-1 against Steven Sloane being the right pick to replace Dennis Russell Davis as music director of the irreplaceable American Composers Orchestra (ACO). After all, the much-traveled journeyman conductor Sloane lives in Germany and already holds three music directorships in Europe. He doesnt specialize in new or American music, which is all the ACO plays. And his only trial run here last March was distinctly underwhelming. Little wonder that many new-music-loving railbirdsmyself includedwere concerned about the future of this extremely precious musical resource. Fortunately, the Horse et al had this one wrong. In his November 3 debut at the helm of the ACO, Sloane set a brisk, smart and sure pace through a wide range of musical styles with a finesse that suggests that he may be more than just cheap speed after all. The event was billed as a A Program of Psalms , with the opening half devoted to three ACO-commissioned world premieresby David Lang, Shulamit Ran, and Milton Babbittalong with selections from Jon Magnussen's Psalm and two a cappella psalm settings by Charles Ives.
