The inspiration for Michael Daugherty s Metropolis Symphony can be traced all the way back to his youth, as he watched on television as the caped superhero rescued humanity - as especially Lois Lane - from all kinds of deadly situations. Daugherty s ability to allow the visual world to inspire the musical is evident in many of his works such as Deux Ex Machina, included on this CD, and Fire and Blood that was inspired by murals by Diego Rivera. The performers on this present CD include the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, pianist Terrence Wilson, and conductor Giancarlo Guerrero.

Known as the 'Pearls Of Greece', the Cyclades islands are located in the middle of the South Aegean Sea. The picturesque former pirate village of Myknos is a meeting place for artists, V.I.P.'s and the international glitterati and five old windmills dominate its picturesque bay. Cyclades villages are characterised by brilliant white houses with green, blue, red and yellow window frames and doors...and the deep rich blue of the Aegean. A special attraction is the district of Little Venice, the style of its buildings serving as a reminder of when the Venetians took possession of the island. Birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, Delos is known as the 'Pompeii Of The Aegean', its long since deserted temples, public buildings, houses and streets conjuring up the atmosphere of this once-flourishing cultural and trading town. Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades islands, with bubbling springs and gently-flowing streams, colourful fields and fertile valleys plus a wealth of water, fruit and vegetables. On Paros, the jewel of the Greek Orthodox church, Katapoliani, is the island's oldest and largest church and dates back to the 6th century. Legendary location of the mythical lost island of Atlantis, Santorini is the most southerly of the Cyclades islands, a breathtaking paradise of rock, lava, sea and light where survival has meant a constant battle against the forces of nature. Its unique dimensions are due to a natural disaster of devastating proportion when over 3,500 years ago a volcanic eruption sank most of the island beneath the sea. In places arid, in places fertile, but always a feast to the eye. Was it not the Greek god, Poseidon who threw a handful of rocks onto the seabed, which took root, and created...the Cyclades?

Trendsetters may be the perfect introduction to 20th-century wind band music. It introduces four different composers, each with their own unique style. Percy Grainger s Lincolnshire Posy, Gustav Holst s First Suite in E flat for Military Band, Paul Hindemith s Symphony in B flat, and Joseph Schwantner s and the mountains rising nowhere each offer a unique take on what the wind band can be.

Er tourte zunächst durch die USA, Europa, Australien und Fernost, spielte in London 1977 erstmals mit dem Pianisten Radu Lupu.

Seit ihrer Uraufführung Dezember 1893 in der New Yorker Carnegie Hall hat die 9. Symphonie ihren Platz neben den größten Werken der europäischen Romantik. Das Publikumsecho war derart enorm, dass der tschechische Komponist über Nacht zum populärsten Mann in New York avancierte. Der Dirigent Václav Neumann sagte dazu: „Ja, dies ist die herrlichste Symphonie der tschechischen Musik.
