Roger Goeb (Symphony No. 4)

The American composer Roger Goeb (1914-1997) produced a sizable body of works including six symphonies, a number of concertos, chamber music and more. Still we hear very little of his music in recordings or concert performances. He studied with Nadia Boulanger and Otto Luening and was himself a teacher at several schools including Bard College, Julliard, Columbia and Stanford. There was an RCA-Victor recording of his third symphony (1950) conducted by Stokowski, which is now available through Foothill Records. The fourth symphony (1955) is a three-movement work with bright, pulsing orchestration. First Movement Second Movement - 6:54 Third Movement - 14:20 Performed by the Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Akeo Watanabe This recording is available through Foothill Records: http://www.foothillrecords.com/detail...
