Rating:  - Hovhaness' Guitar Concerto is a winner
Much as I love certain works of Alan Hovhaness, his symphonies start to sound the same after a while. The Guitar Concerto (the first) is written in a colorful, creative style with less repetition than some other works. It is peaceful, like most of Hovhaness music, but has a slight edge to it as well. The short piece Khrimian Hairig is also highly engaging. If you are new to Hovhaness you'll like Symphony #60 but for me it is the other two pieces that make this disc special.
Rating:  - A first-rate guitar concerto
This CD contains a first-rate guitar concerto, one that I hope joins the standard repetoire. The rest is excellent Hovhaness. All-in-all, a good addition to a Hovhaness collection.
Rating: - When do we get more?
Naxos is doing us all a favor in issuing these CD's of Hovhaness' music. This one is superb. The guitar concerto is first rate and deserves to become a Western classical music repertory piece. It is that good. The Symphony # 60 is also superb and Khrimian Hairig is a must hear piece. Now, when do we get a recording of the Violin Concerto? I was at the premiere, and it remains a piece I would love to have in my collection of recordings.
Rating: - Illuminating music by the master musician of a generation.
It will be another sleepless night. Quite by accident I stumbled upon this CD which contains excellent performances of several more works of Alan Hovhaness that I did not know. It arrived today in the mail with the last of the Harry Potter series. While my 11 year old daughter devours the words of the writer of her generation, I sit downstairs in my basement office, transported by the sounds of the master musician of my generation. The music coming from my aged stereo is music of such beauty, such ... Read More
Rating: - Superb Introduction to Hovhaness
This is a superb introduction to the works of Alan Hovhaness, a long-neglected 20th Century American Composer. The Trumpet Concerto (Khrimian Hairig) is well-played and has a serious thoughtful quality to it. This work should be performed more often by orchestras. The Guitar Concerto is also entertaining and well-played and deserves more playing time with larger orchestras. The Symphony No. 60 (!) is a work more typically associated with Hovhaness - upbeat positive music with no ties to the modern ... Read More
