Album Notes
The introductory note explains that earlier in the 20th century composers had to follow either Schoenberg or Stravinsky, whereas now they can benefit from "a veritable salad bowl of styles." Such may be the case, but three-quarters of the evidence within would seem to indicate that at the time of this recording in 1981 young American academics were passing on that salad and thinking schnitzel, for while they are not necessarily serial, these song cycles by Gerald Levinson, David Noon and Robert Stern definitely tend toward the atonal crystallization of latter-day Second Vienna School sympathizers, exuding cool timbres with occasional sudden outbursts, the moaning ghost of George Crumb hovering nearby. The tonal holdout is Brian Israel, whose 'In Praise of Practically Nothing' is a grotesquely droll setting of some misanthropic poems. The performances sound carefully prepared and executed and the singers, including a nascent Renée Fleming, are quite good.
