Jerome Moross achieved fame for his memorable Hollywood film scores (most notably his music for “The Big Country”) and theatre works including “The Golden Apple” – and also wrote concert music with an unmistakably American sound. Alto Records returns to the catalogue conductor JoAnn Falletta’s pioneering world recordings of Moross’s major concert works, including his single movement Symphony.
“Dominating my Critics’ Choice are … outstanding discs of concert works by esteemed film composers. … The disc of Moross world premieres is especially exciting… distinguished not only by superb sound but also by wonderfully bold and intuitive performances that capture [the composer’s] distinctive style.”
-Gramophone
