Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s career was interrupted by his move to America in 1939 to escape the Fascist regime in Italy. He worked as a film composer in Hollywood, and as a result his concert works have become neglected, and he is now best remembered as a composer for the guitar. There is something of an ongoing revival however, of which this programme is a part.
Acclaimed cellist Brinton Averil Smith appeared on our ‘American Classics’ album of music by Steven Gerber (8559618), in which “[Kurt] Nikkanen and the extraordinary cellist Brinton Averil Smith bring out the changing moods and colors of the virtuosic ‘Duo for Cello and Violin’” (Strings Magazine).
“Gerber is indeed fortunate to have this disc performed by such an elite group of players… Here all are virtuosi in their own right as well as sounding thoroughly committed to the sound-world Gerber creates.” – MusicWeb International
This release follows successful Houston Symphony recordings for Naxos, such as the “wonderfully lush” (The Dallas Morning News) version of Zemlinsky’s Lyric Symphony (8572048), and the Grammy Award-winning recording of Alban Berg’s Wozzeck (8660390-91) in which “the orchestra plays stunningly” (ClassicsToday.com).
