Michael Daugherty: Fire and Blood; MotorCity Triptych; Raise the Roof

Kavafian; Detroit Symphony Orchestra; Jarvi - Hawes; Becker; Parcells; Detroit Symphony Orchestra; Jarvi - Jones; Detroit Symphony Orchestra; Jarvi

This recording celebrates three exciting works commissioned and premiered by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra during Michael Daugherty’s four years as Composer-in Residence. Inspired by Diego Rivera’s monumental fresco and Frida Kahlo’s paintings created in Detroit, Michigan, Fire and Blood “rivets the ear with a bold palette of colors and the skillful elaboration of vibrant themes” (Detroit News). The second work on the album, MotorCity Triptych, “striking both in its brilliance and in its technical rigor,” is a road trip through the sounds of Detroit: the 1960’s pulse of Motown, the motor rhythms of Michigan Avenue, and the legend of civil rights icon Rosa Parks. Finally there is Raise the Roof, composed for the opening of Detroit’s Max M. Fisher Music Center, is a grand acoustic construction featuring the timpani in a tour de force of urban polyrhythms.

Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"Fire and Blood is a very fine new violin concerto in the populist, virtuosic manner of the violin concertos of Barber and Prokofiev. I like the well-written and unabashedly entertaining music of Daugherty overall, but this work is a standout for its neo-Classical concision and clarity of expression. Kavafian tears it up, and gets superb support from Järvi and his splendid band. "
