AMERICAN HIGHWAYS: Henry Cowell’s “Legends”
American maverick composer Henry Cowell thought big when he composed symphonic music, and these works are no exception. Obsessed by Irish folklore, he experimented with Irish themes throughout his life. The grandiose and lush Four Irish Tales are based on his avant-garde Irish Legends which in turn are based on stories he may have heard from his father (a poet) or from spiritual guru John Varian (also a poet).
In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us powerful music of Henry Cowell, including the European radio premiere of Symphony Number 2, “Anthropos”, conducted by Leon Botstein.
