About
His single-movement Symphony No. 6 stands as one of his most intense and integrated, its sombreness enlivened with intricate rhythms and startling counterpoint. Prayer in a Time of War and New England Triptych highlight Schuman’s abiding sense of patriotism, the former written soon after America’s entry into World War II, the latter based on hymns from the time of the American Revolution.
This disc is the fourth release in a series devoted to Schuman’s complete published symphonies.
