more Hovhaness

You might also like the Mount St. Helens Symphony (no. 50), composed in 1983 and yep, it does. Recorded by Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony for Delos, and I think it's been re-released on Naxos. This time it's the work rather than the performance that's less than top-drawer, but hey, you get to hear a musical depiction of a volanco blowing up! How cool is that?

Also on the original disc, at least, is the City of Light Symphony (no. 22), which contains, so far as I know, Hovhaness's only scherzo.
