| Izler Solomon c.1948 |
While I mourn the loss by the Patriots in the Super Bowl, there is some consolation in this fine recording (1956 mono) by American conductor Izler Solomon. Featuring the MGM String Orchestra and the Guilet Quartet, Maestro Solomon offers up a concerto grosso of Bloch, a serenade by George Antheil and the Lament of Marga Richter.
Izler Solomon was a very visible presence in the American midwest for over 30 years and a strong advocate of new music, premiering over 150 works during his lifetime. In this recording he displays both ingenuity and great flexibility which make the listening here more then just satisfactory. MGM released a good size number of these lps dedicated to modern music and I have yet to encounter a lemon. A very nice testimony to a fine musician and three different but equally talented composers.
