Kalmar’s interpretation [of the Piston] is revelatory…The Oregon Symphony really show their mettle here, and the delicacy of their playing is as impressive as their collective vigour. Morton Gould’s Stringmusic is perhaps the strongest work on this vividly engineered disc…So kudos, then, to Kalmar, the Oregon Symphony and Pentatone for doing their part to keep the masters of 20th-century American symphonism from fading entirely into obscurity.
