Spirit of the American Range
''Spirit of the American Range'' is a classical music album by the Oregon Symphony under the artistic direction of Carlos Kalmar, released by Dutch record label Pentatone in February 2015. The album was recorded at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon in April 2013 and January 2014. It contains works by three American 20th-century composers: Walter Piston's ballet suite from ''The Incredible Flutist'', George Antheil's "A Jazz Symphony", and Aaron Copland's Symphony No. 3. The recording was the orchestra's third under Kalmar's leadership, following the highly successful ''Music for a Time of War'' (2011) and ''This England'' (2012).
==Background and composition==
''Spirit of the American Range'', released by the Dutch record label Pentatone in February 2015 and pre-released by the Oregon Symphony on January 8, contains compositions by three American 20th-century composers: the ballet suite from ''The Incredible Flutist'' by Walter Piston, "A Jazz Symphony" by George Antheil, and Symphony No. 3 by Aaron Copland. The works were recorded live at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/spirit-of-the-american-range-mw0002800598 )〕 The Piston suite was recorded on April 13–15, 2013, "A Jazz Symphony" was recorded on April 20–22, 2013, and Copland's symphony was recorded on January 5, 2014. The album was the third recorded during Carlos Kalmar's tenure, following the highly successful ''Music for a Time of War'' (2011) and ''This England'' (2012).〔〔 Like these albums, ''Spirit of the American Range'' was recorded in hybrid multichannel (surround sound) Super Audio CD format by Soundmirror recording engineers John Newton and Blanton Alspaugh.〔 Mark Donahue served as the mixing and mastering engineer. The album's liner notes are credited to Elizabeth Schwartz with German translations by Franz Steiger, its cover photography was taken by Martha Warrington, and it features designs by freshu. Angelina Jambrekovic served as product manager.〔
Job Maarse, artistic director of Pentatone, said of the album's origins: From day one the co-operation between Pentatone and the Oregon Symphony and its Music Director Carlos Kalmar has been something magical. The quality of the orchestra and the program ideas of Carlos Kalmar attracted the attention of a large group of music lovers in and outside the U.S. During a pleasant meeting at the Chicago airport almost two years ago the idea for this new album was discussed. I believe all at the table liked it and now everybody can hear how these three pieces, although by composers with different styles, fit perfectly in one program. And of course the Copland symphony is one of the best pieces ever written by an American composer.〔
Kalmar said of the recording, "It is a great pleasure to share these important American works for which I have the greatest fondness and appreciation. They aren't widely performed and certainly deserve to be enjoyed by a wider public."〔 ''Spirit of the American Range'' was funded in part by the James DePreist Fund for Broadcast and Recording.〔
