Vladimir Lande, conductor

In his Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, the composer seeks to "... fuse my interest in neo-classical clarity and design with what I feel is the songful, heroic nature of the greatest cello concerto literature." The work's heart lies in its highly effective central movement: a potent and chilling evocation of the "anguish of the innocent people in war's crossfire" - the composer's response to the recent conflict in Iraq. New Music Connoisseur describes Hickey's Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra as being "... packed (with) many ideas ... without ever digressing from a solid thematic core. The second of the three movements was unique in effect, a restless, yet haunting recollection of life in the US heartland, while the frenzied finale was all metropolitan New York." Both works get expert, inspired, and well-recorded performances from Maestro Vladimir Lande, featuring renowned cellist Dmitry Kouzov and vaunted clarinet virtuoso Alexander Fiterstein with excellent St. Petersburg Orchestras.
