Arnold Rosner

  • Arnold Rosner Requiem — Timeless

    Jan 18th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves

    Toccata Classics has done a real service to music with this recording. It’s one of Arnold Rosner’s most substantial works. And, unfortunately, one most likely to only be heard through recording rather than live performances. The Requiem is a massive work. It contemplates death through a variety of traditions: Zen Buddhism, the Jewish Kaddish, the […]

  • Arnold Rosner Orchestral Music Vol. 3 – more, please

    Apr 22nd, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arnold Rosner, CD Review, Classical music, contemporary classical music, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Nick Palmer, Orchestral music, Toccata Classics

    Toccata Classics continues their exploration of Arnold Rosner’s orchestral music. Volume Three presents three world premiere recordings. Each one a masterwork, and each (in my opinion) deserving more performances. Rosner was fascinated with Medieval and Renaissance music and often used pre-Baroque voice-leading and modal harmonies in his work. The 1978 Nocture is one such example. […]

  • Arnold Rosner Orchestral Works, Vol. 2

    Jan 16th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arnold Rosner, CD Review, Christopher Burchett, Classical music, contemporary classical music, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Nick Palmer, Orchestral music, Toccata Classics

    This installment of Rosner’s orchestral music shows a wide range of emotional expression. The 1976 Five Ko-ans for Orchestra encapsulates the essence of Rosner’s style. The music’s mostly triadic, with chords resolving in delightfully unexpected ways. Rosner incorporated Renaissance modality and late Medieval counterpoint into his music. It’s no accident that the final movement of this work […]

  • Rosner Chamber Music – Always a Pleasure

    Jul 31st, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arnold Rosner, Carson Cooman, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Curtis Macomber, David Richmond, Margaret Kampmeir, Maxine Neuman, Toccata Classics

    Another recording of Arnold Rosner’s music is always welcome (in my opinion). Rosner was something of a musical outsider, much like Alan Hovhaness. Rosner wrote Hovhaness’ entry in Groves and was an acknowledged authority on his music. Like Hovhaness, Rosner wrote in an unapologetically tonal language, unconcerned with the conventions of traditional harmony. Hovhaness used Eastern modes, […]
