World Première Recordings

Romeo Cascarino, a virtually self-taught Philadelphia composer, was fiercely dedicated to the principles of tonality and exploring the infinite beauty of orchestral colour. His four orchestral works, written between 1948 and 1960, as well as the two chamber works heard on this disc, were all inspired by literary and mythological sources.

The programmatic ballet Pygmalion and the long adagio Portrait of Galatea embellish the Greek legend in rich harmonic detail. The rhythmic work Prospice resulted from a reading of Browning's epic poem, and his buoyant The Acadian Land has at its source Longfellow's imaginary paradise. Portrait of Galatea, Prospice and The Acadian Land are receiving their first complete performances on this recording.

The Philadelphia Philharmonia are here conducted by JoAnn Falletta, hailed by The New York Times as "one of the finest conductors of her generation".
