Symphoniker Hamburg / Pierre Génisson / Tianyi Lu

Where Copland, with his Fanfare, still had the ordinary citizen in mind, Tower was concerned with honouring individual significant women, two of them conductors among them. With Symphoniker debutante Tianyi Lu at the helm, this programme of tension between North American music of the 20th century and one of the best-known compositions by a Russian icon of the 19th century is in very good hands.
