Ethan Winer, Franz Schubert, and Saint-Saëns [HL:400423]

New composer Ethan Winer's concerto is bursting with bold ideas and fresh orchestration; the album also contains a chamber-music version of Schubert's “Ave Maria” and an energetic pop-orchestrated version of Saint-Saëns' “Alegro Appassionata” – this album presents an exciting synthesis of modern-day and Romantic-era compositional ideas. Includes complete printed music score on high-quality ivory paper, including extensive performance notes by the composer; and a compact disc containing a complete performance with soloist in digital stereo, then performed again minus you, the soloist.

Performed by Steven Thomas, violoncello

Accompaniment: (orchestral accompaniment)
