JoAnn Falletta

In a rare twist to the usual format for Harmonious World, I was not speaking to either the performer or the composer of the album I had been listening to. This time, I was speaking to renowned conductor JoAnn Falletta on her work to bring the performances of pianist Claudette Sorel to the listening world.

Claudette Sorel Rediscovered  is a double DC showcasing the late pianist in solo works and American concertos, all taken from her out-of-print recordings. This was a labour of love for Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Music Director JoAnn Falletta and it was fascinating to discuss Sorel, the music and the process of bringing this music to life once more.

Thanks to JoAnn for allowing me to use tracks from the album alongside our conversation.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
