MY NEW ALBUM HAS JUST DROPPED!
Albany Records and the Dallas Chamber Symphony have just released Chasing Home, a 24-minute piece for oud, piano and chamber orchestra by Joseph Thalken, originally commissioned by Bruce Wood Dance in 2017.
The DALLAS MORNING NEWS says:
The music could not be more immediately ingratiating...lilting, lyrical and delicately tinted. Highly recommended.
FANFARE MAGAZINE writes:
Chasing Home is a remarkably powerful concertante work...A CD to be treasured as well as a compelling listening experience...Four stars.
from TEXTURA.ORG:
The relevance of Thalken's piece is undeniable.
The recording is conducted by the Dallas Chamber Symphony's esteemed artistic director Richard McKay, and is produced by the Grammy Award-winning producer Adam Abeshouse. The companion piece on this release is Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring. Available to stream on all platforms and to purchase as a CD.
