Duke Ellington and Detroit
Symphony
Paragraph 15 of the Duke Ellington page at
AfriClassical.com says this about Duke Ellington, the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra and Chandos:
“The Detroit Symphony Orchestra,
led by Neeme Järvi, Conductor, has recorded three of Ellington's
works for symphony orchestra on CDs released by the British label
Chandos. Harlem,
Suite from "The River" and
Solitude
are found on Chandos 9909 (2001). Suite
from "The River"
also appears on an earlier disc, Chandos 9154 (1993). Harlem
is also found on Chandos 9226 (1993).”
Chandos Records tells us at Chandos.net that Duke Ellington's Solitude
(3:57) was “transcribed for
strings by Morton Gould” and its tempo marking was “Slowly, with
expession.” Neeme Järvi conducted the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra's recording on 12 January 1992. Interestingly, the
Associate Producer was Leslie B. Dunner, now a prominent conductor.
