"A full and deserved celebration of a short-lived American post-Romantic" - Editor's Choice Gramophopne Magazine (April 2004)
Editor's Choice Gramophopne Magazine (April 2004)
"Naxos's American Classics series goes from success to success...recommended as an excellent choice for collectors who want just a single disc of Griffes's most characteristic and attractive works...Buffalo has preposterously harsh winters, but it is worth braving blizzards to hear its fine orchestra. Falletta and the Buffalonians pour an ample portion of polished Griffes's score...Naxos's engineering engenders no complaints."
-- International Record Review, February 2004
"I first encountered the orchestral music of Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920) on an old RCA LP under Charles Gerhardt and have long looked forward to getting to know more. This splendid Naxos disc offers his two best-known works (The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan and The White Peacock) as well as some real treats, including settings of Fiona McLeod, aka William Sharp, a poet much inspired by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Do try it."
