The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra has released its first recording under the Naxos label. The CD is a disc of three orchestral works by American composer Frederick Converse (1871-1940), a composer of whom I had never heard until I learned of this recording, which is part of Naxos’s effort to explore the rich history of American classical music beyond the usual “big names”. It’s also thrilling to see my hometown orchestra finally appearing on recordings that are nationally available.
