On this edition of Saint Paul Sunday, violinist Jorja Fleezanis and pianist Karl Paulnack join forces to celebrate the music that originally brought them together.
These missionaries of contemporary sound have made it their calling to engage and enlighten audiences with rarely performed 20th and 21st century works. Listen in for sonatas by Peter Mennin and Ernst Bloch as well as one of Alban Berg's hauntingly beautiful Seven Early Songs.
Music featured in the program:
Peter Mennin: Sonata Concertante (1959)
—I. Sostenuto—Allegro con brio
Alban Berg: Sieben frühe Lieder (Seven Early Songs)
—III. Die Nachtigall (The Nightingale)
George Perle: Triptych (2003)
Ernest Bloch: Sonata (1920)
—II. Molto quieto
—III. Moderato

A wonderful, ear-opening program!
In the discussion of Bloch however, I do disagree with their characterization of his style as Romantic. There is strong emotional content but, to many ears (and mine) Bloch is no less an Impressionist than Debussy or Ravel. Mr. McGlaughlin then proceeded to discuss Bloch's various devices to uproot tonality, those are impressionist devices.
You don't have to be French!
