Editorial Reviews
American Classical Music and the Viola
GRAMMY nominated
violist Eliesha Nelson has a passion for performing and promoting music
of neglected composers who wrote masterworks for the viola. She has been
critically acclaimed in international publications for her outstanding
interpretive abilities. The L.A. Times wrote of her, "She is a marvelous
player... a ravishing violist..."
This album is comprised of
five virtuosic viola pieces that look at aspects of American music. The
five different composers on this recording Nikolai Kapustin, John
McLaughlin Williams, Ross Lee Finney, George Walker and Jeffrey Mumford
have all created technically challenging works of strikingly disparate
character. All of the composers are American with one exception: Russian
Nikolai Kapustin, included because he incorporates American jazz
elements in his music. In the last twenty years technology has made the
world a smaller place in the sense that ideas and art forms can be
exchanged much more easily across cultures. It is interesting to observe
the manner in which aspects of American music have been incorporated
into other musical traditions and compare that with the myriad ways
these ideas are understood in the United States.
