Title: Corigliano Lite?
Review: Found this CD at a good price so I snapped it up, even though I had misgivings because I hadn't much cared for other Corigliano I had heard. It had always seemed that he was canceling himself out, harmonically, so what came out was bland and dry, intellectually and spiritually lucid and valid, but emotionally not engaging (unbelievably, that even applied to the First Symphony).Here in this CD on the the other hand is the enthusiasm of a young composer who is solid in his skill and knows it. The music fairly leaps off the page (and the CD). None of the pieces are especially "important," but taken together it's a really good listen. Let your intellectual guard down and just revel in the sounds of a compelling artist.
