Michael Drapkin: Classics Rescored for Chamber Orchestra
(Digital Release)

Michael Drapkin is encouraging the continued performance of masterworks which require the very largest, and most expensive, of symphonic orchestra ensembles, by masterfully rescoring the originals in a compelling and artful way for 31-piece chamber orchestra.  These new versions of well-loved masterworks makes the continued performance of these works possible, in a time when economics of the large orchestra – normally between 80 and 105 players – would otherwise have prevented their performance.  Brilliant performances of Michael Drapkin rescores are given by the Janáček Philharmonic of Ostrava, Czech Republic, under the baton of maestro Mark Laycock, with audio post-production and mastering by Frederick Hohman.  Streaming and Download Tracks and Album – 7 Tracks.
