Our recent partnership with @Odysseyopera on its presentation of Gian Carlo Menotti’s opera The Last Savage, is receiving enthusiastic reviews.
At Boston Musical Intelligencer (BMI), Lee Eisman celebrates #BMOP as “players who can make any composer sound great.” And the Arts Fuse’s Aaron Keebaugh writes Menotti’s “melodies soared, his orchestration swept grandly”, lauding the performance as “a reminder of why the composer struck such a popular chord during the 20th century.”
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.
Nancy Galbraith writes, “The three soloists on this recording are the #women who performed those premieres… This collab with the incomparable Gil Rose / #BMOP family of musicians has lived in my imagination for over two decades. It is so rewarding to unite them with these three great solo artists…”

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
