It is not easy to define such a complex, eclectic and exuberant personality as that of Lou Harrison, composer from the American West Coast and literary talent who, in the course of his artistic career, won numerous awards, among them the Pulitzer Prize and the Twentieth Century Masterpiece Award. Listening to this third CD dedicated by Guido Facchin’s ensemble to the eighty-four-year-old Californian composer, we are impressed once again by the stylistic variety and remarkable imagination of his works, spanning from the exotic avant-gardism of Song in the forest (1992) to the unexpected Baroque suggestions of Serenade (1978). Many of the pieces featured are world première recordings.
