AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #103 FEATHER BREATH MIRROR
In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us music by Alan Hovaness and Eric Chasalow – two contrasting composers – who bring intensity and attention to detail to their work. Chasalow’s pieces are romantic in a French avant-garde style; while Hovhaness’ are anchored in the landscape, with a lush romantic lyricism.
