Album Description
"Riccardo Muti Conducts Mason Bates and Anna Clyne" is a captivating neoclassical album that brings together two contemporary composers and the renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of maestro Riccardo Muti. Released in 2014 by CSO Resound, this digital-only collection features live recordings from the 2012 premieres of Mason Bates' "Alternative Energy" and Anna Clyne's "Night Ferry."
