George Crumb Eleven Echoes of Autumn
George Antheil A Jazz Symphony
Bohuslav Martinu La Revue de Cuisine
Franz Berwald Septet

Eleven Echoes of Autumn confirms George Crumb's reputation as a composer of hauntingly beautiful music, inspired by a line from Federico Garcia Lorca, "... and the broken arches where time suffers". George Antheil's Jazz Symphony is a sassy, virtuosic romp full of surprises that was deemed too radical to be included in Paul Whiteman's Experiment in Modern Music, for which it was commissioned.

Sticking with the wild and witty is Martinu's jazz ballet La Revue de Cuisine, in which the marriage of Pot and Lid is in danger of being broken up by Twirling Stick, with supporting performances by Broom and Dishcloth. Largely dismissed in his own lifetime, Franz Berwald is now considered one of the great Swedish composers. His Septet is a fine example of his original, inventive musical voice.
