The San Francisco Ballet Orchestra’s new Moszkowski: From Foreign Lands recording has been getting a lot of attention on the radio this month:
WFMT
“Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925) is best known for his piano works. He also composed an opera, a full-length ballet, three orchestra suites, a symphony, songs, concertos and chamber music – almost all of which remain neglected or forgotten. The San Francisco Ballet Orchestra and Martin West have assembled an intriguing program of largely first recordings of Moszkowski’s most memorable orchestral compositions.” —Lisa Flynn
