BARBER, S.: Orchestral Works, Vol. 6 - Capricorn Concerto / A Hand of Bridge / Canzonetta / Intermezzo (Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Alsop)
This is the sixth and final volume in the acclaimed Naxos series of the complete orchestral works of Samuel Barber conducted by Marin Alsop. The Capricorn Concerto, named after Barber’s beloved home at Mount Kisco, is a jewel-like triple concerto (scored for the same instruments as Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, solo trumpet, oboe, flute, with an accompanying string complement), full of rhythm, movement and light. The Intermezzo from Barber’s second opera Vanessa is a haunting and gorgeous orchestral fantasia, as beautiful a work as he ever wrote. The Canzonetta, his last work, is from an unfinished Oboe Concerto.
