Jazz is the tang of musical America and Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F explores that brilliantly, especially when under the dazzling command of Natasha Paremski. Dvorák’s evergreen New World Symphony produced a wealth of memorable melody as the composer set out to reveal America’s indigenous folk voice during his time in New York. Aaron Copland’s Canticle of Freedom is an inspired call to the highest ideals of our time... and all time.
