William Schuman : New England Triptych - Charles Tomlinson Griffes : The White Peacock, Op.7 n° 1 - Charles Ives : Three Places in New England - Alan Hovhaness : Mysterious Moutain (Symphonie n° 2) - Walter Piston : The Incredible Flutist / Dallas Symphony Orchestra, dir. Andrew Litton

If you've ever wondered what American musical treasures there are lurking beyond the likes of, say, Barber's Adagio for strings, Copland's Appalachian Spring or Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, then this is the disc for you. No one, surely, could fail to be seduced by the sultry charms of Charles Griffes's ravishing The White Peacock. Alan Hovhaness' Mysterious Mountain (the second of this prolific figure's 60-something symphonies to date) casts a similarly potent spell and its radiant string textures could well strike a chord with anyone bitten by the Gorécki/Tavener bug. Walter Piston's deliciously tuneful 1938 ballet suite The Incredible Flutist has always understandably remained his most popular score, and pretty much the same holds true for William Schuman's noble, impeccably crafted New England Triptych. Last but not least, there's Charles Ives's Three Places in New England, an extraordinarily evocative canvas and as good an introduction as any to the amazing output of this pioneering radical. Needless to say, Andrew Litton and his superb Dallas band are on peak form throughout. Boasting spectacular sound and exemplary presentation, An American Tapestry certainly earns an enthusiastic recommendation. --Andrew Achenbach

    2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment
    Reviewed in the United States on 8 November 2018
    Verified Purchase
    A huge disappointment. More like, "An American Tragedy." You'd never mistake this for a piece of Americana from Aaron Copland.
    Except for an embedded, easily recognized Yankee motif in the third piece, Schuman's did nothing to bring New England to mind. The Griffes piece was too soft in volume to appreciate. Then came Ives, whose first two sounded more like an orchestra tuning up before a concert. His first made me feel I was standing next to Francis Scott Key at Fort McHenry, while British cannonfire was exploding all around me. Loud, and unappealing. Fortunately, Hovhannes' famous "Mysterious Mountain" saved the day, for the most part. Overall, I'd never play this for guests...or rarely as background music. More like an alarm clock.
