SynopsisCharles Wuorinen (b. 1938, New York) is one of the world's leading composers. His many honors include a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship and the Pulitzer Prize (he is the youngest composer to receive the award). His compositions encompass every form and medium, including works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, soloists, ballet, and stage. Wuorinen has been described as a "maximalist," writing music that is luxuriant with events, lyrical and expressive, and strikingly dramatic. His works are characterized by powerful harmonies and elegant craftsmanship, offering at once a link to the music of the past and a vision of a rich musical future. Both as a composer and performer (conductor and pianist) Wuorinen has worked with some of the finest performers of the current time and his works reflect the great virtuosity of his collaborators. Among the most recent recordings of Wuorinen's music are several-discs on Koch International Classics, including his celebrated Five: Concerto for Amplified Cello and Orchestra performed by Fred Sherry and the Orchestra of St. Luke's under the composer's direction; the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center performing A Winter's Tale (with soprano Phyllis Bryn-Julson), the String Sextet and New York Notes; the Second String Quartet, Tashi and Fortune performed by the Group for Contemporary Music, and a CD of six trios of varying combinations also performed by the Group for Contemporary Music.
