David Amram's 'This Land' (Newport Classic Recordings) is a Melting Pot of Cultures [REVIEW]
'This Land' (Newport Classic Recordings), subtitled "Symphonic Variations On A Song By Woody Guthrie," is by the living legend known as David Amram, who, now 85 years-old, has conducted 75 of the world's greatest orchestras. A friend to Kerouac, Ginsburg, Dylan, Seeger and, yes, Guthrie...composer-in-residence at the New York Philharmonic since 1966...pioneer of the French Horn in jazz since the 1950s...a world music, folk, classical and jazz icon. Grawemeyer Award Goes to Hans Abrahamsen for Song Cycle 'let me tell you'
The Grawemeyer Award’s 2016 recipient was chosen early this year following a leak by Musical America. Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen has taken the title along with a $100,000 grant for his 30-minute song cycle for soprano and orchestra called 'let me tell you'.
