\"\"<\/a>NI6423<\/strong> features a collection of music composed by Steven R Gerber and offers world premiere recordings by the English String Orchestra headed by Kenneth Woods.<\/p>\n

Steven R. Gerber <\/strong>was born in 1948 in Washington, D.C. and made his home in New York City, where he died on May 28, 2015, aged 66. He received degrees from Haverford College and from Princeton University, where he received a 4-year fellowship. His composition teachers included Robert Parris, J. K. Randall, Earl Kim, and Milton Babbitt. Most of the music on this recording consists of arrangements of chamber music pieces by Steven Gerber (1948-2015), commissioned by the Gerber Trust to help make performances of his music more accessible for chamber orchestras, smaller symphony orchestras and string orchestras.<\/p>\n

“…a fascinating overview of Gerber\u2019s development as a composer over most of the last 20 years of his working life.Intriguing and engaging music which..could hardly be faulted for emotional immediacy. It certainly found worthy exponents in the musicians of the ESO, directed by Woods with his customary conviction… Those coming anew to Steven R. Gerber will doubtless have responded to his unwavering sincerity.” Richard Whitehouse, Arcana.fm<\/a><\/p>\n
