Lee Hoiby, London Symphony Orchestra, Lawrence Foster, Vittorio Rieti, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Jorge Mester - After Eden Capers

Review by manuel ramirez

After Eden Capers is an impressive album that features the works of two renowned composers, Lee Hoiby and Vittorio Rieti. The album is performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, Lawrence Foster, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Jorge Mester. The album showcases the diverse musical styles of both composers, ranging from classical to contemporary.

The album begins with Lee Hoiby's "Three Women," a vocal piece that features the beautiful voice of soprano, Sarah Walker. The piece is hauntingly beautiful, and the London Symphony Orchestra provides a perfect accompaniment to the vocals. The album then moves on to Hoiby's "After Eden," a piano concerto that is performed excellently by pianist, John McCabe. The concerto is a beautiful blend of classical and contemporary styles and is a standout piece on the album.

The album then moves on to Vittorio Rieti's "Concerto for Strings," which is performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The concerto is a beautiful piece that showcases Rieti's mastery of the string section. The piece is performed with great precision and passion by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Jorge Mester.

The album concludes with Hoiby's "Sinfonietta," a piece that is full of energy and excitement. The London Symphony Orchestra delivers a powerful performance, and Lawrence Foster's direction is impeccable.
