Florence Price - Florence Price: Symphonies Nos.1 & 3 - [CD]

FLORENCE PRICE: SYMPHONIES NOS.1 & 3 - The Philadelphia Orchestra and its Music Director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin release their latest album Florence Price: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3 to celebrate the achievements of Florence Price in surmounting systemic barriers of African-Americans and women in classical music.Price came to prominence almost ninety years ago. The composer’s Symphony No. 1 was the first symphonic work by a Black woman to be played by a major American orchestra.Much of her music then fell into neglect for superficial reasons, as Nézet-Séguin comments. Therefore, The Philadelphia Orchestra brings her music back with their latest recording.FEATURING: * FLORENCE PRICE * Yannick Nézet-Séguin * Symphony No. 1 in E Minor * Symphony No. 3 in C Minor * The Philadelphia Orchestra
