Inspired by the fiftieth anniversary of Superman’s first appearance in the comics, Metropolis Symphony has been performed by orchestras all over the world. Hailed by the London Times as a “Symphonie Fantastique for our times,” Metropolis Symphony is a musical response to the myth of Superman, expressing the energies, ambiguities, paradoxes, and wit of American popular culture. Deus ex Machina is a piano concerto inspired by trains of the future and past: Fast Forward re-creates the machine-like rhythms of modern trains admired by the Italian futurists; Train of Tears recalls Abraham Lincoln’s funeral train; Night Steam evokes O. Winston Link’s historic photographs of steam locomotives rumbling and whistling their way into extinction. ( NAXOS )

遊んでるよなあ、ここまでやられると、おちょくられてるみたいで楽しい。スーパーマンをモチーフにしてるらしいけど、聴いてる人は聴いてるもので、、グラミー賞受賞も納得の、優秀録音、演奏。拍手が入ってて、これライヴだったの?にっこり笑える、アメリカ現代音楽。流石、Naxos。音楽は、真剣な遊びだよね!
