Michael Daugherty

  • Michael Daugherty evokes Woody Guthrie — and more

    Sep 2nd, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Annika Socolofsky, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, David Alan Miller, Dogs of Desire, John Daugherty, Michael Daugherty, Naxos, Woodie Guthrie

    I’ve said in previous reviews that Michael Daugherty is a national treasure. And this release adds credence to that argument. Daugherty regularly reinterprets aspects of American life and culture in his music. The works are complex yet accessible, blending classical and traditional music. They sound as American as Aaron Copland, yet as far removed from […]

  • Michael Daugherty Dreamachine Hits on All Cylinders

    Feb 19th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Albany Symphony, Amy Porter, Carol Jantsch, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, contemporary classical music, David Alan Miller, Evelyn Glennie, Michael Daugherty, Naxos

    In my opinion, Michael Daugherty’s style hits the sweet spot. His music has real substance, working on multiple layers that yield fresh insights with every hearing. He’s also fully integrated the musical vernacular of pop culture. And he writes in a mostly tonal and strongly rhythmic language. These strengths enable his music to connect with […]

  • Quarttro Mani – More than Lounge Lizards

    May 24th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arlene Sierra, CD Review, Charles Ives, contemporary classical music, Fred Lerdahl, John Musto, Michael Daugherty, Quattro Mani

    I love everything about this release. The performances are top-notch, and the theme is focused. Yet within that focus is an amazing variety of compositions and styles. This recording is with the new Quattro Mani duo piano team (Steven Beck replaced retiring Alice Rybak in 2013). Though the Susan Grace/Steven Beck chemistry is slightly different […]

  • Michael Daugherty Mount Rushmore – monumental music

    Jun 28th, 2013 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carl St. Clair, CD Review, contemporary classical music, Michael Daugherty, Naxos, orchestral, Pacific Chorale, Pacific Symphony

    This new Naxos release features three of Michael Daugherty’s most recent compositions for orchestra — as well the orchestra that commissioned them. And it’s a winning combination. All three works crackle with energy and excitement. The   Carl St. Clair and the Pacific Symphony know these compositions well. These are committed and self-assured performances. Mount Rushmore […]
