Description
Three concertos spanning the career of the extraordinarily productive Gunther Schuller who — amidst a life as composer, conductor, performer, educator, administrator, musicologist and author — has found time to compose twenty concertos.
Three Concertos spans works from Schuller’s very first effort along with one from his middle years and from a more recent effort.
