Various - Buried Alive - Honegger, Schoeck, Mitropoulos

Conductor Leon Botstein has consistently offered the musical public some of the most innovative and fascinating programs to be found on today's concert stage. This CD combines three orchestral works written within during the years 1926-1928, featuring Othmar Schoeck's stunning 45-minute song cycle for baritone, chorus and orchestra, Lebendig Begraben (Buried Alive), alongside Arthur Honegger's wildly colorful Rugby and Dimitri Mitropoulos's rarely heard Concerto Grosso.
