Editorial Reviews
From the Label
Robert Johnson is the Producer and Artistic Director for the New York Philomusica Records catalogue.

Music selected encompasses the period beginning in the early18th Century to the present; the performances include studio-produced recordings as well as live concerts."

Album Description
Represented here are pieces spanning Jacob Druckman's first published work, Divertimento to his late String Quartet No. 3, with a splendid account of a period of interest by him in electronic music, the Delezie contente. He combines a tape produced in his electronic studio at Yale University with a live woodwind quintet. The performances were supervised by the composer, and one, Bo written for his percussionist son, Danny, who is featured in it, is a classic example of the extraordinary gift for subtle nuance in orchestration for which Mr. Druckman is justly famous among fellow composers.
