Aside from my one recording, I was privileged to hear Roy Harris's 3rd Symphony at Carnegie Hall last February, performed by the Cleveland Orchestra under the baton of Franz Welzer-Most. Along with the Harris, Radu Lupu soloed in Beethoven's Piano Concertos 2 and 3. It was a memorable evening as the orchestra and Lupu were clearly "in the zone."
The Harris is a short piece, a "symphony in one movement" that really deserves greater exposure. I am so encouraged that American music is now being included in concerts of the more established repertoire rather than in evenings devoted purely to Americana. Hopefully, it will be performed more and more so that it will eventually become a performance staple.
