Pulitzer Prize winner Joseph Schwantner is one of the most prominent composers in America today, renowned for his dramatic style and bewitchingly colorful orchestration. "Morning's Embrace" depicts the intense brilliance of sunrise at his home in rural New Hampshire, and the 'Ford Made in America' commission "Chasing Light..." continues to explore the natural world in a work of eloquent expressiveness. A highly popular concert piece, the 'fresh, engaging' (Metro) and technically demanding "Percussion Concerto" is performed here by the acclaimed soloist for whom the work was written, Christopher Lamb.
