John F. Kennedy Requiem: Lyric Symphony in Song
This recording of The John F. Kennedy Requiem: Lyric Symphony In Song, Text and Music by William Maselli, is certainly one of the greatest recordings of an American classical work in our history. This recording features superb vocal performances from top to bottom. The work itself is establishing itself as a landmark in American classical music. The composition is the earliest of Maselli s three major vocal masterpieces, complementing the dark romance of the opera Spirt Fire and the turbulent brilliance of his just-completed opera Draculette with the deep and profoundly sincere spirituality of the Kennedy Requiem. The work evolves from simple and innocent to an ever-richer tableaux penetrating always to the most sure reaches of the heart and soul.
