Wow. I had no idea there was a band arrangement of this. Well, you'd be hard pressed to find a better soloist than Steve Williamson. And I fear that after a prosperous first decade, this concerto - which I rank in the same circle as Nielsen, Copland, and Francaix - has not really caught on as it should.
Definitely, Steve is out of this world. I think it's mostly the eerie atonal nature of this piece that turns off a lot of general audience, probably why it hasn't caught on. Definitely I love it as much as the Francaix and Nielsen, though not as much as perhaps Mozart or Copland.
"has not really caught on as it should." I wouldn't say that. It has entered the repertoire of major orchestras around the world. It's a difficult and.yet strangely compelling concerto by a major American composer.

So poetic that he attended Eastman for his studies and is back for this solo opportunity!
That was great! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome rendition! Any information about the transcription/arrangement?
Anyone know who did the arrangement for wind orchestra? Was it Corigliano himself?
