Customer Reviews of Suite: Music by Alec Wilder
Stellar performances of these little-known works! If you like American cross-over music this is for you! Alec Wilder manages to combine classical idioms with jazz and popular flair in infinitely varying degrees in these Suites. <

>At times, I thought Sinatra's crooning voice was around the corner. Then Wilder would surprise me with orchestration reminiscent of Respighi! I thoroughly enjoyed the contrast within and across the selections in this collection. There are 25 tracks on this CD, with none longer than 3½ minutes. Each track is a fresh morsel of purely American musical taste. <

>The solo performances are outstanding! The lyricism and free spirit brought to the fore by these musicians is inspiring. They all sounded completely at home with this music, totally effortless, with a tinge of witticism and charm! Very fresh indeed. <
> <
>Honorable Mention goes to Sandra Clark: Not only did she play the heck out of the horn on this recording, she also produced it! I hope she has more projects like this in the works! <

Easy to enjoy!
This is a wonderful recording. The music and performances are top-notch. While the music of Wilder may not be widely known, and is not what you would call typical, it's extremely easy to enjoy. The warmth of the strings throughout the recording is so comfortable to the ears. Conductor Chelsea Tipton's tempi are perfect and the ensemble of the album is completely together at all times. Soloists Sandra Clark, Shannon Ford, Jocelyn Langworthy, Valrie Kantorski and Amy Heritage provide a common warmth and uniform approach to the often intricate passages of Wilder's works. I especially liked the relaxed sound of Clark's horn that makes even the most difficult of passages sound easy. Langworthy also makes her job sound easy and relaxed by handling the more melizmatic phrases with comfortable agility. This is a recording I enjoy listening to in the car or in the house whether I'm busy or focusing on the music. Bravo.
