Oliver Knussen (b. 1952 in Glasgow, Scotland) is his generation's equivalent of Boulez, except that his ideas are more youthful and appeal less to the advanced intellect. This isn't to say that Knussen hasn't his rough edges. But this collection highlights his shorter works for orchestra (and voice), and his inventiveness and playfulness shine through. Of note here are Flourish with Fireworks (1988, 1993), the suite to The Way to Castle Yonder (1988-90) and Music for a Puppet Court (1972-73, 1983). Whitman Settings (1991-92) for soprano and orchestra is the only disappointment here. Lucy Shelton, for all her range, makes the words incoherent. --Paul Cook

Although in a letter to his wife Mahler expressed doubts about what the public would make of his Fifth Symphony, it has become one of his most popular works. As always, he kept revising it for several years; the final version, heard here, was not published until 1964. Cast in five movements, it opens with a heavy, achingly mournful Funeral March, heralded by a recurring trumpet signal. The next movement, though thematically related, is its opposite: fast, "stormy," grotesque, calling for "utmost vehemence." The Symphony's center of gravity is the third and longest movement, an unusually weighty Scherzo. Driving and rambunctious, with a tenderly lyrical Trio, it stomps, dances and swings. In complete contrast to the preceding violence and massive orchestration, the famous Adagietto is the Symphony's shortest but most profoundly affecting movement. Scored only for strings and harp, it feels like an oasis of sonic and emotional calm. The Finale brings another surprise: humorous, gracious, playful, it recalls previously heard material (as well as some of Mahler's songs) and ends in a burst of laughter. Recorded live, this performance has great vitality, freedom, and color - even the enharmonic shifts are enhanced by making the flat keys dark and the sharp keys bright. However, it suffers from a few excesses: the tempo changes are good but too frequent and there is a lot of push-and-pull. The pianissimos are barely audible, the fortissimos ear-splitting; the texture gets muddy in the loud sections. The Adagietto is inordinately slow and falls apart with big ritards and long pauses. However, the playing is exciting and expressive, and the soloists are wonderful. --Edith Eisler

The Standard of Excellence ADVANCED Jazz Ensemble Method continues the successful jazz instruction presented in the Standard of Excellence Jazz Ensemble Method. Designed as a comprehensive jazz course for group and individual study, it can be used by students who have completed the Standard of Excellence Jazz Ensemble Method, or any students with intermediate-level instrumental skills and at least one year of jazz ensemble experience.

Building upon the rhythm-centered pedagogy introduced in the first book, the ADVANCED method focuses on improvisation. Concepts introduced and reinforced in IMPROVISATION STUDIES and ADVANCED IMPROVISATION STUDIES are applied in charts designed to be played by the full jazz ensemble.

Each part book includes an accompaniment CD, continuing the non-theoretical and aurally-based approach of the first book. Directors will find the Director's Score to be an invaluable resource of jazz pedagogy. Parts available for flute, clarinet, French horn, and tuba ensure that the study of improvisation is also accessible to students of non-traditional jazz instruments.
