London Philharmonic Orchestra & Nick Palmer - Rosner: Orchestral Music, Vol. 3 (2019) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

The musical language of the New York-based Arnold Rosner (19452013) had its roots in the modal harmony and rhythm of pre-Baroque polyphony and evolved in an array of unusual directions, producing a style that is instantly recognizable and immediately appealing as can be heard in the three works on this recording. Rosners Nocturne suggests the immensity and the implacable violence of outer space, whereas his overture Tempus Perfectum has its starting point in Renaissance dance. The monumental Sixth Symphony opens with music of volcanic ferocity and vehemence; the central Adagio then provides an island of troubled calm before the dignified opening of the finale presages a symphonic Allegro of wild, freewheeling energy; only when its immense force is spent does this powerful masterpiece sink to an uneasy close.
