Our Take

Joan Tower's "Strike Zones" is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking the listener on a wild ride through the intricate complexities of composition. Glennie and Albany Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Alan Miller, deliver a thrilling performance that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Opening with "Small," Tower sets the tone with delicate melodies that build into a crescendo of epic proportions. The orchestra's precision is impeccable, capturing the essence of Tower's vision with finesse and flair.

Moving on to "Still/Rapids," the mood shifts dramatically as Tower explores the juxtaposition between calmness and chaos. The interplay between the strings and percussion is mesmerising, creating a sense of tension that is both exhilarating and haunting.

Closing with "Ivory And Ebony," Tower showcases her versatility as a composer, blending classical and jazz elements seamlessly. The solo piano adds a touch of intimacy to the grandeur of the orchestra, creating a beautiful harmony that is both captivating and soul-stirring.

Overall, "Strike Zones" is a masterpiece of modern classical music that transcends genres and defies expectations. Tower's genius shines through in every note, leaving a lasting impression that will stay with you long after the final chord fades away. Don't miss out on this musical journey – it's an experience you won't soon forget.
