William Schuman The Witch of Endor (BMOP)

    William Schuman (1910-1992)

    Boston Modern Orchestra Project
    Gil Rose, conductor

This is an accomplished disc, essential for admirers of the talented American composer William Schuman. His ballet suites Judith and Night Journey have been recorded before but never in the kind of wide-ranging surround sound that they are accorded here. As a further incentive to purchase, the disc also contains what is (as far as I can tell) the first recording of another Schuman ballet for Martha Graham, the knottier The Witch of Endor.
