Perle: Orchestral Music (1965-1987) / Morlot, Seattle Symphony
George Perle described his journey as "a path toward a new kind of tonality. Music that was going to do what music used to do, with its basis being the twelve-tone scale instead of the diatonic scale". Annotator Christopher Hailey writes that "It is not necessary to go into analytical details because what Perle created was a language of such cogency and immediate appeal that no technical knowledge is necessary for its appreciation. It is music that is bracing without being strident, vigorous without being disjointed, sharply etched without being dryly acerbic; it is witty, lucid, stimulating, and, above all, deeply humane. With this new recording, the Seattle Symphony, cello soloist Jay Campbell, and conductor Ludovic Morlot present five previously unrecorded works by the American master George Perle.

REVIEW:
The performances by the Seattle Symphony are excellent. Ludovic Morlot displays a great understanding of this challenging music. His control of the orchestra is remarkable. The sound quality is very clear and lets all of the subtle nuances of the music be heard.
