Earlier this month, composer Bernard Rands passed away in Chicago, Illinois. #BMOP was fortunate to program and perform his compositions multiple times in concert, and record the Canti trio of works: Canti dell’Eclisse for bass and orchestra; Canti Lunatici for soprano and orchestra; and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Canti del Sole for tenor and orchestra.
The Canti recordings on #BMOPsound are available to stream and download from your preferred digital platform.
Chen Yi’s compositional style seamlessly interweaves traditional Chinese and western classical music practices. She writes, “I had a dream: to put some of my concertos for solo string instruments onto a CD for my audience to enjoy collectively. The moment came when Gil Rose…invited me to work together with #BMOP on an album of my orchestral works.” / https://bmopsound.bandcamp.com/album/chen-yi-concertos-for-string-instruments

Composer Lisa Bielawa writes of #BMOPsound release Lisa Bielawa: In medias res, “These two discs tell the story of a three-year journey… My hope, from the beginning of my tenure as Composer in Residence with #BMOP, was that with Gil Rose, the orchestra’s musicians, and the supporters of new music in #Boston, I could stimulate community through musical experiences.” / https://bmopsound.bandcamp.com/album/lisa-bielawa-in-medias-res
