AGP120 is the
first of two featuring works by the influential American composer Lukas
Foss. Frankly, he has never been a special favorite of mine, but I
enjoyed listening to many of the works in this installment and AGP121.
A number of them show clear minimalist influences, but without as much
of a populist bent as Steve Reich and Philip Glass had. The rhythms and
harmonies are more complex, often to intriguing effect.
This week's installment includes one Foss composition from the same
Deutsche Grammophon LP that filled out AGP119, as well as a work by
Elliott Schwartz from the same LP. The remaining tracks come from a
Gramavision Records LP (GR7005). The recordings are all quite nice, and
the transcriptions have little surface noise or tracking distortion.
The installment includes a PDF file with scans of the liner notes from
all LPs transcribed in this installment and AGP121.
