HUTTER, G.: Orchestral and Solo Piano Works

Gregory Hutter is currently one of America’s most diverse and eclectic young composers. As demonstrated in the present collection of compositions, Hutter works fluently in a wide variety of styles and mediums, from the mechanical urban imagery displayed in the orchestral works Electric Traction and Skyscrapers to the neo-romanticism of Still Life, from the aggressive dissonant styles of the Fantasy Pieces to his own unique incarnation of the ragtime genre in The Melancholy Rags. His music has been performed by many leading orchestras and concert artists throughout North America, Europe and the Middle East.
