I Care If You Listen is a new blog featuring contemporary classical music, maintained by composer Thomas Deneuville. Mr. Deneuville was kind enough to do a wonderful, wonderful feature on our new release American Mystic. We’ll leave you some quotes here, but we highly encourage you to visit www.icareifyoulisten.com not only for the full feature (and their great pictures), but also to see a great new resource for new music.
American Mystic, the Music of Hovhaness on Delos:
“Alan Hovhaness would have been 100 this year, and for this occasion Delos is releasing American Mystic… This new Delos CD is a beautiful collection of meditations, some intimate, some more monumental (it might sound antithetical but Hovhaness is that good)…
“Overall, American Mystic is a great tribute to Hovhaness’s music and a necessary addition to one’s music collection. Delos worked very closely with the composer over the years and I feel that most of these versions can be seen as reference recordings. Besides, how many recordings of an accordion and orchestra piece do you own?” – Thomas Deneuville
