This second MSR Classics recording of Barbara Harbach's orchestral music follows an earlier programme played by the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra with conductor Kirk Trevor (MS 1252).
The present release has three concise 3-movement symphonies and Harbach's atmospheric Night Soundings for Orchestra lasting fifteen-and-a-half minutes.

Composer, harpsichordist, organist and teacher, Harbach is Professor of Music at the University of Missouri-St Louis...
