Hamilton:New Lone Star Wo - Converging Cultures

This programme brings the old world of festive Spain in Turina's La Procession du RocIo into a meeting with Roger Nixon's Californian 'tonal fresco' Fiesta del Pacifico. Chang Su Koh's Korean Dances use exotic traditional rhythms, whereas Bernstein's Symphonic Dances refer to Cuban cha-cha and the Mexican mambo. James Bonney's Chaos Theory is a concerto for electric guitar which fuses hardrock intensity with classical sophistication. The Lone Star Wind Orchestra's American Tapestry album (8.570968) was described as 'completely stunning.'
