CRESTON: Symphonies Nos. 1- 3
From his earliest works, Creston had an original voice – an aesthetic that defined music in terms of lyric melody and rhythmic dance. His award winning Symphony No. 1 is full of youthful exuberance. The brilliantly constructed Symphony No. 2 deserves to be ranked amongst the greatest American symphonies and the popular Symphony No. 3 “Three Mysteries” is a symphonic life of Christ. Vigorous rhythms, sweeping melody and lush romantic scoring is to be found in each of the works appearing on this disc.
