A fervent expression of hope. Jonathan Leshnoffs Fourth Symphony.
Complementing the artist line-up of Giancarlo Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony on this recording are the Violins of Hope, a poignant collection of restored instruments that survived the Holocaust. Jonathan Leshnoff wrote his Symphony No. 4 with this unique set of orchestral voices in mind; Raymond Bisha introduces the performance and the background to its conception. Leshnoff is one of America\u2019s most frequently performed living composers and the programme on this new recording also includes\xa0Starburst, his most frequently performed work, and his Guitar Concerto, which Guerrero considers \u201cone of the greatest additions to guitar and orchestra repertoire in recent years.\u201d The soloist is Jason Vieaux.
