Over het album

Fred Lerdahl, Vol. 6 presents new work by one of today's true masters.  The disc features two major works, the cello concerto, "Arches" and Lerdahl's fourth string quartet, "Chaconne". Producer David Starobin writes that "Lerdahl's work is rare in today's musical world in that it seeks and achieves both complexity and intelligibility. It is indebted to the past yet committed to the exploration of new territory." Rounding out the disc are three delightful smaller pieces, "There and Back Again", "Fire and Ice", and "Three Bagatelles."
