1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, 30 Aug 2008
By Roy Howitt (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had high hopes for this disc after reading the previous review, as the Roy Harris 7th symphony is one of my favourite American works. Sorry but this performance is dire, The Old mono recording by Ormandy and the Philadelphia (Albany Troy 256 )knocks this feeble attempt into a cocked hat, it has far more punch!. The 9th is not much better. For a really good performance of the 9th , I recommend the David Alan Miller /Albany Symphony Orchestra performance(Also on Albany, Troy 350 )Now I am sure that they would make a good job of the 7th!

4.0 out of 5 stars A composer who deserves re-discovery, 3 Mar 2005
By Richard James (Oxford, Oxon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
In his hey-day in the 1930s and 40s Roy Harris was regarded pretty much on the level of Copland and Gershwin as a significant US composer. His one-movement 3rd symphony (well worth a listen) was acclaimed as the first great American symphony. While Copland and Barber (and even the more challenging Ives) have gone from strength to strength in terms of recordings and attention, Harris has yet to be taken up in any big way. This is a pity, because at his best he has a refreshing approach to harmony which once heard can't be mistaken for anyone else, though his 'Memories of a Child's Sunday', for example, should appeal to people who like John Barry.

I'll confess I can't get much from the 9th on this disc (or any other), but the 7th is an enjoyable one-movement symphony with a delightful rhythmic conclusion. The real gem on this disc is Harris' beautiful elegy for John F. Kennedy. Clocking in at a mere 8 minutes, it effortlessly side-steps all the musical cliches which the genre of elegy invites. Harris divides the piece into a first half of broad dramatic gestures before taking things into a lyrical but taut semi-march sequence where bell-like sounds are left hanging after the main chords have been stopped. It's beautiful, eerie, touching, and is superbly resolved in the last few bars. For this piece alone this Naxos CD is one I couldn't be without.
