Description

SKU 114-42298DEV

Cast in three dramatically contrasting and colorful movements�an elegant opening reminiscent of a Classical Sonata-allegro, a tender lullaby, and a closing, raucous scherzo�Amanda Harberg's Concerto For Piccolo and Orchestra evolved from her piccolo sonata, following a commission from Philadelphia Orchestra piccoloist Erica Peel. Yannick N�zet-S�guin, who led the premiere, praised the concerto as "an extraordinary addition� to the piccolo�s limited repertoire. He notes that "Amanda�s creativity and unique voice are on full display in this work. Simply in choosing to explore the piccolo�s middle and lower voices, she quietly shrugs off the mundane and explores the unexpected. This isn�t performative, or different for the sake of being different: Amanda simply sought to highlight a particular aspect of the piccolo�s beauty which is often overlooked. This spirit�of curiosity for curiosity�s sake, of seeking out hidden loveliness as opposed to what is immediately apparent�pervades Amanda�s work." Harberg's piccolo concerto will undoubtedly remain an important and beloved fixture of the instrument's repertoire for years to come, rewarding listeners with its individual blend of new and old.
