I'm happy you are enjoying the blog and my notes :)<br />I know Walter Simmons but he wouldn't remember me, I met him but once at a Rosner concert held in NYC at Merkin Hall about 8 years ago. His bio is touching as penned by Mr. Simmons, although I can tell you that Rosner wasn't always entirely "pleased" with Simmon's reviews of his music.

I always trust your views but I made the mistake of "listening " to this disc while doing chores. I could tell right away what I was missing & I will be still next time so I can give a better review. What a perfect blend of pieces. Rosner, yes! I love the nuances, the touching of a chord and deciding to go elsewhere but allowing the listener in on the journey.I have to re-listen!!

His writing for winds especially within the symphonies is sublime). Dello Joio is a great composer imo however Hovhaness Is practically my favorite composer of all time. I will be posting a ton of AH's music, and when I get to it Dello Joio as well.

He was a dear friend and I loved him like a brother, or more precisely as a brilliant, fascinating human being who wrote music of the spheres yet Rosner was always down to earth. His soul, warmth and kindness was indescribable. -I like the cd notes idea; plus in his Symphony No. 4 I get "honorable mention" on the score, by way of a private joke we shared, he wrote it with a pen in the score after the fact, a particular melodic line.. I would love to see this symphony recorded!
