Bliss
I first heard the piece "Ride" performed by the Franklin and Marshall Wind Ensemble. I searched for it immediately on Amazon. It is joyful and exhilerating! The entire album is exciting post-modern music. Enjoy!

Richard Danielpour: Elegies - Sonnets to Orpheus / von Stade, Hampson, Huang

Richard Danielpour, Frederica von Stade, ...

Sony, 2001

Beautiful Contemporary Music
Lovely lyrical writing opens American composer Richard Danielpour's Elegies for mezzo-soprano, baritone and orchestra. Heavily influenced by the music of Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, and Benjamin Britten, Danielpour's music is representative of the reactionary trend ...

Perle: Piano Concerto 2; Six Etudes for Solo Piano / Danielpour: Metamorphosis for Piano and Orchestra

George Perle, Richard Danielpour, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1995

Perle is not immediately appealing, but highly rewarding; Danielpour is the opposite
George Perle dubbed his compositional method "twelve-tone tonality", but if you don't know the music, don't be deluded: it is NOT tonal music, at least in the accepted sense. If I understand the various liner notes and other articles found on the net, Perle's ...

Richard Danielpour: Celestial Night

Richard Danielpour, Zdenek Macal, ...

Sony, 1999

Great Classical CD
Danielpour is one of the best composers and shows it here. His french horn heavy music is even appreciated by this Trombone player. He has memorable moments and great movements. A must for any classical music fan.

Ma's Exquisite Performances Of 20th Century American Music
Yo-Yo Ma's performances of these three cello concerti are extraordinary, filled with sizzling pyrotechnics on his cello. Yet they are also very graceful, warm performances. All three scores are meditations on death and dying. I don't know whether these works will ...

What we have here are two recent works by one of America's most accomplished and successful composers, both written for the artists who perform them here, the members of Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio. The first is "A Child's Reliquary," a 27-minute trio from 1999 ...

Richard Danielpour: Concerto for Orchestra; Anima Mundi

Richard Danielpour, David Zinman, ...

Sony, 1997

It is what Shostakovich would write today.
I heard this live, played by the Pacific Symphony Orchestra with the composer sitting next to me. I didn't want to look artificial so I was restrained in my enthusiasm, but I felt very much like I was hearing real classical music, something Shostakovich would write if ...

Danielpour: An American Requiem

Richard Danielpour, Carl St.Clair, ...

Reference Records, 2002

An American Requiem
I had the pleasure of singing for this recording, and it was a very spiritual experience to work with Mr Danielpour, John Alexander, and Carl St. Clair. Mr. Danielpour, a New Yorker himself, told us that although he had been working on the piece for a couple of years, ...

Danielpour: First Light; The Awakened Heart; Symphony No. 3

Richard Danielpour, Gerard Schwarz, ...

Delos Records, 1992

Volcanic music!
Danielpour's syncopated rhythms are right out of Stravinsky's Rite, his orchestral colours fiery as the Firebird - but there is nevertheless a personality in this music that lifts it above mere pastiche. Alternating a volcanic energy that takes Stravinsky's wildest ...
