DCD 066 - American Masterpieces

Episode #66 of the DCD Classical 'Cast showcases the latest release from the Seattle Pro Musica. "American Masterpieces" is a collection of American choral works from the last 50 years (or thereabouts).

Samuel Barber and Leonard Bernstein are represented, as well as newer composers such as Morten Lauridsen. Also featured are works commissioned by the Seattle Pro Musica, and two selections by their director, Karen P. Thomas.

It's a beautiful collection of choral works, beautifully performed.
