    Extractions: Recommended Listening Over the last three years, a large number of discs of music by Hovhaness have been released (amongst contemporary composers, only Henryk Gorecki is likely to have been more visible). At last count, there were more than twenty discs available with a substantial Hovhaness "presence"... that being said, the sheer volume of Hovhaness's body of work means that the material presently available is less than representative of his entire career; with the skew blatantly towards the orchestral work and away from his operatic and vocal works (of his ten operas, only the stageable oratorio "Lady of Light" has been recorded... similarly, only a handful of his choral works available; and only the "Saturn" cycle of his songs). There are also a number of key recordings presently lost in deletion - most obviously the Kostelanetz recordings of the 1970s (which include the original version of "And God Created Great Whales"). Pioneering recordings with the MGM String O/Surinach and the Eastman-Rochester Symphony Orchestra/Hanson also await rediscovery. The majority of Hovhaness recordings are presently on the Crystal, Delos and Koch International Classics labels. The Crystal set is the largest; and includes the complete catalog of "Poseidon" recordings supervised and conducted by Hovhaness in the 1970s as well as more recent recordings by Amos, Schwarz, Gold and Hovhaness... unfortunately, Crystal discs can be difficult to obtain outside the US. They also tend to suffer from less than useful tracking - extended works such as "Majnun", "St Vartan" and "Odyesseus" symphonies are restricted to two tracks only (as previously mentioned, the "St Vartan" symphony consists of 24 separate sections). It should also be noted that Hovhaness is one of those composer/conductors who takes his own music more ruggedly than anyone else would dare to; so these recordings should not necessarily be seen as ideal introductions to his work.

    Extractions: Alan Hovhaness (b. Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, 8 March 1911) was an American composer of Armenian and Scottish descent. Chronologically, part of the generation of composers who followed pioneers such as Henry Cowell, George Gershwin , Virgil Thomson, Carl Ruggles, Aaron Copland and the rediscovery of Charles Ives (therefore roughly contemporaneous with William Schuman, David Diamond, Lukas Foss, L. Bernstein , etc); but stylistically a maverick, whose music reflects a love of Western counterpoint and a personal fascination with by Indian, East Asian and Armenian music more obviously than any contemporary musical thought. Hovhaness is said to have begun composing aged four; then studied with Frederick Converse at New England Conservatory and with Bohuslav Martinu at Tanglewood. Despite an early interest in Indian music, his compositions prior to the Second World War tend to suggest a mixture of Baroque structures and late Romantic (particularly Sibelius) melody. The early Exile symphony (Symphony No. 1) (1939) and the String Quartet No. 1 (

    Extractions: Alan Hovhaness, for years a resident of the great Northwest, was one of the most prolific figures in American music today. He was born Alan Vaness Chakmakjian, in Massachusetts in 1911. His mother was Scottish and his father an Armenian chemistry professor. He began composing early in his life and attended the New England Conservatory in the 1930's. He was heavily influenced by Armenian and Asian music, in part because of his heritage, but also it is due to his travels to countries such as Armenia, India, Japan, and Korea. He rarely relies on a standard western scale or mode or standard classical ideas of harmony and melody. His music is often what you could call incantory, or repetitive and stripped of excesses. Hovhaness said, "To me, atonality is against nature. There is a center to everything that exists. The planets have the sun, the moon has the earth. The reason I like oriental music is that everything has a firm center. All music that has a center is tonal." He wrote well over 400 pieces, including at least 9 operas, 2 ballets, more than 60 symphonies, and more than 100 chamber pieces... but this barely scratches the surface.

I had never heard Alan Hovhaness before, but decided to give this budget disc on Naxos a try. After all, I had been impressed with a number of other discs in the label's "American Classics" series. I was a little tentative though, because I have heard Hovhaness compared to Philip Glass and Arvo... more info Customer Rating: The trumpet-playing here is, as always with Marsalis, brilliant, but there's too much "trumpet lite" on this CD - classical elevator music, like the Masterpiece Theater theme. I recommend you get Marsalis' original releases if you'd like to hear great trumpet playing AND a disk full of interesting...
