ON THE RECORD / CLASSICAL MUSIC
1999
Overview
New York Philharmonic: An American Celebration (New York Philharmonic Special Editions) 'WHAT IS American music?\" For some reason, that stubbornly unanswerable question has fascinated generations of pundits. For 100 years they have argued ferociously over wheIP0 ther American composers should emulate Wagner or borrow from American Indians, absorb jazz or stay aloof, evoke the Rockies or the sidewalks of Paris, please the uninitiated or challenge the erudite. How refreshing, then, to find all those lions and lambs sprawled together in a peaceful heap on the New York Philharmonic's 10-CD set, \"An American Celebration.\" The rigorously below-IP0 14th Street minimalist Steve Reich shares disc space with Ivy League modernist Jacob Druckman and mystical symphonist Alan Hovhaness. A century's worth of \"shoulds\" about American music has effectively been neutralized. At least within the flag-wrapped confines of the box, everybody is getting along. Like the previous two bulky releases from the New York Philharmonic's archives of live recordings, \"An American Celebration\" is a landmark set. It tells the story of an orchestra's long and complex entanglement with its country's music, narrated in a series of momentous evenings. For an ensemble that has a reputation for resisting new music, the Philharmonic sure sounds like it's having a good time.
