David Tanenbaum releases new album
“Double Echo” features pieces specifically composed for Tanenbaum
By Karen Meurer Bacellar
David Tanenbaum, chair of the guitar department, released through Naxos entitled “Double Echo.”
This album of guitar concertos from the Americas features pieces composed for David Tanenbaum. Building on a tradition of prominent guitarists generating repertoire through new commissions, these works present the guitar in a variety of settings. Aaron Jay Kernis’s concerto dips with ease into the world of pop music, whereas his Lullaby and Soliloquy are reflective, lyrical, and romantic. Roberto Sierra’s concerto asserts a rhythmic and percussive character, while Astor Piazzolla’s dark and sentimental double concerto is one of his least-known works.
