• The musical language of the New York-based Arnold Rosner (1945–2013) had its roots in the modal harmony and rhythm of pre-Baroque polyphony.
• It evolved in an array of unusual directions, producing a style that is instantly recognisable and immediately appealing – as can be heard in the three works on this album, all receiving their first recording.
• Rosner’s Nocturne suggests the immensity – and the implacable violence – of outer space.
• His overture Tempus Perfectum has its starting point in Renaissance dance.
• The monumental Sixth Symphony opens with music of volcanic ferocity and vehemence; the central Adagio then provides an island of troubled calm before the dignified opening of the finale presages a symphonic Allegro of wild, freewheeling energy; only when its immense force is spent does this powerful masterpiece sink to an uneasy close.
• This is the third volume of the Toccata Classics survey of the orchestral music of Arnold Rosner, with more projects in the pipeline.
