Our Take

In this cheeky yet sophisticated concoction of classical delights, the COLE/NOI Philharmonic, under the baton of the ever-exuberant Miller, take us on a whimsical journey through the works of four American composers.

Opening with Gershwin's lively and dynamic "Concerto In F," the orchestra effortlessly captures the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, with its jazzy flourishes and syncopated rhythms. The sweeping crescendos and delicate nuances evoke the glamour and sophistication of a bygone era, perfectly complemented by Miller's spirited interpretation.

Next up is Tower's "Sequoia," a modern masterpiece that explores the power and majesty of nature through a kaleidoscope of strings and woodwinds. The orchestra's precision and intensity bring this evocative piece to life, painting a vivid sonic landscape that is both thrilling and contemplative.

Piston's "Symphony No. 5" is a bold and brassy addition to the programme, with its bold brass fanfares and lush orchestration. Miller and the COLE/NOI Philharmonic revel in the symphony's rich textures and rhythmic complexities, delivering a performance that is nothing short of electrifying.

Closing the album is Harbison's "Remembering Gatsby," a nostalgic tribute to the legendary literary figure that is both haunting and heartfelt. The orchestra's emotive playing and Miller's deft handling of the orchestral colours make this final track a poignant and fitting conclusion to a truly captivating listening experience.
