Description

Each work exhibits great passion

The dazzling quartet treatment of the Richard Rodgers hit song features Coltrane on soprano saxophone for the first time on record and became an instant hit single in it's own right

alongside Schumann's "Adagio and Allegro"

Within that framework I wanted to couple a well-known work with others that are more seldom performed: the Pictures at an Exhibition seemed like a good choice

Levin - Spirits of Sunset Condition:New Each work exhibits great passion"I first experienced the physical power of music when, as a little boy, my parents took me to an outdoor concert at Wolf Trap. The explosion from Beethoven's kettle drums knocked me off my parents' blanket and onto the grass. I covered a lot of ground in that short distance because from that point forward I was aware of music as a force unto itself. I had gone through a passageway and come out a different person." (Joseph M. Levin) American composer
