For You: Music for French Horn and Piano, Griffin (CD)

Discs: 1
Release Year: 2016

Hear Chicago Symphony Orchestra horn David Griffin in works for solo horn and piano, ranging from Romantic masterpieces to modern and world premiere recordings. On Bruce Broughton’s Sonata, Griffin says, “many contemporary composers have abandoned melody, which makes Broughton’s Sonata stand out even more . . . he has not joined the erudite crowd that creates music for itself, to be enjoyed by intellectuals and mathematicians.”
