Letters from Gettysburg, a work scored for soprano, baritone, large chorus,and percussion, is the centerpiece in this all-Dorman release. Written in 2013 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, it was commissioned by the Gettysburg College American Civil War Sesquicentennial Planning Committee. Following its premiere, Letters from Gettysburg was broadcast on radio stations across the U.S.,
including KUSC, WWFM, and WETA.

The New York Times welcomed 1930s Violin Concertos, Vol. 1 as “the first document of a major musical project.” the Gramophone Magazine observing "a most distinguished release and I can’t wait for the second instalment.”

The wait is OVER. 1930s Violin Concertos, Vol. 2 pairs Gil Shaham's account of Bartók’s Second Violin Concerto with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra under Stéphane Denève, with Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto with Eric Jacobsen and The Knights.

Throughout her impressive international career, the pianist Orli Shaham has displayed her unwavering passion and exceptional understanding of the music of Johannes Brahms. Admired for her interpretations of both standard and contemporary repertoire, she places Brahms’s late works for solo piano – his most intense and beautiful music – as the keystone of a collection of music history’s most amazing compositions.

‘Like works of art grouped in the same room by the museum’s curator, I find the works on this album speak to and illuminate each other.’
