A peek at the National Symphony Orchestra’s exciting recording efforts.
. The city’s premier classical-music outfit now has its own little record company.
Much like those other Washington-based DIY labels, the NSO is spotlighting some local talent—in this case Walker, who was born in 1922 and grew up in Columbia Heights. A piano prodigy, he was the first African American to graduate from the Curtis Institute of Music and the first to earn a doctorate from the Eastman School of Music. He then had a long career as a music professor, while also composing a significant body of work.
For the moment, the Walker and Beethoven recordings are the only releases on tap, but Noseda is playing around with several other ideas. What if, for example, the NSO recorded a disc featuring pieces written by Europeans after they moved to the US? Perhaps it could include music by the likes of Arnold Schoenberg and Igor Stravinsky, both of whom ended up living in Los Angeles.
