Music reviews of McKay: From a Moonlight Ceremony / Harbor Narrative / Symphony for Seattle
Music Review: George Frederick McKay CD's Receive Acclaim from Critics
Rating: 5 Stars
Two new CD's by Historic West Coast American Composer George Frederick McKay have received high marks by both British and American music critics. McKay's Orchestral CD from NAXOS, conducted by John McLaughlin Williams, was named to the FANFARE MAGAZINE's "Want List 2001" by two of their critics, Paul Snook and Lawrence Johnson. McKay's Chamber Music album featuring piano performances by Pulitzer Prize Winner William Bolcom, whose Opera opened at the Met in New York in December 2002, received a very favorable review from Michael Fine, Grammy winning record producer. The Chamber CD is available through Amazon USA. Both McKay CD's have received "10" ratings for artistic content from the internet's Classics Today, and have been broadcast many times on BBC, CBC, WNYC New York, WETA Washington DC, ABC Australia, KING Seattle, and Classic 99 in St. Louis, as well as on numerous NPR stations like the Wisconsin Public Radio Network. The Chamber CD has been featured as the "Morning CD of the Week," on KBPS in Portland, Oregon and has been noted for its lively and unpredictable mixture of jazz and romantic themes. The McKay Orchestral CD contains wonderful 20th Century melodic themes from the American West, including one of the few recorded examples of Native American music in the classical field. McKay was a music professor, conductor and author as well as a composer and is noted for his colorful orchestration. His book on orchestration is held by 400 libraries worldwide, and his students have won the Pulitzer Prize and a Special Academy Award in Hollywood for their compositional efforts. During his lifetime his symphony music was presented in live performances by Leopold Stokowski, Sir Thomas Beecham, Howard Hanson, Carmen Dragon, Arthur Benjamin, Milton Katims, Fabien Sevitsky and more recently Richard Hickox.
