Black Dog – Robert Spring

Description

These four concertos – two new, two older – have never been recorded! They range from rock-influenced works like Scott McAllister’s Black Dog (based on the Led Zeppelin tune of the same name) and X (based on the music of Alice In Chains) to Katherine Hoover’s jazz concerto written for virtuoso Eddie Daniels, Leslie Bassett’s Fantasy with its wild clarinet virtuosity, 1950s

On this recording, Black Dog and X are performed by the Arizona State Wind Symphony; the Hoover Concerto is performed by the Arizona State University Chamber Orchestra. The Fantasy is performed by members of the Arizona State University Wind Symphony and Arizona State University Chamber Winds.
