Volume Five of Bridge’s ongoing Elliott Carter series contains five premiere
recordings, including Carter’s bracing Oboe Quartet of 2001. Performed
by many of the leading Carter advocates of our time, this recording is a must
for those interested in keeping up with the undimmed imagination and constant
creative impulse of this American master, now well into his tenth decade. Also
featured on this CD is a new recording of Carter’s song cycle Of Challenge
and of Love, performed by the brilliant young American soprano Tony Arnold,
the recent first prize winner of the Gaudeamus International competition for
interpreters of contemporary music. Rounding out this CD are a series of
instrumental miniatures played by dedicatees Virgil Blackwell, Charles Neidich,
Ayako Oshima and Fred Sherry. In addition, the pianist Charles Rosen adds on to
his earlier (almost) "Complete Piano Music of Carter" CD (BRIDGE 9090)
with the Two Diversions, and Retrouvailles.
