Music for a New Century has a double meaning here in this release by Deutsche Grammophon. First, all of the composers were known, to lesser or greater degrees, for their music in the 20th century. However, the present works were all written well into the 21st ("new") century. The other meaning, which is more obvious the closer you look at this release, is that the featured New Century Chamber Orchestra was involved in the commission of the works being performed. The New Century group performs without a conductor, and this release displays the attentiveness and sensitivity of the orchestra's musicians. Following the wildly successful Concert for Peace and the subsequent Deutsche Grammophon release Music for Ukraine, pianist Alexey Botvinov reunites with Daniel Hope, the music director of New Century Chamber Orchestra, for the Piano Concerto No. 3 of Philip Glass and the Double Concerto of Tan Dun. Botvinov and his Odessa Classics Festival co-commissioned the Tan Dun work, and these same forces premiered the work in 2021. The program concludes with the celebratory Overture by Jake Heggie, written on commission for Hope and the orchestra from two of the group's board members marking the orchestra's 30th anniversary. This is, as indicated in the track list, a joyful work, putting it somewhat at odds with the tone of the preceding music. Each work receives an excellent performance and should be worthy of consideration by audiences with varying degrees of interest in new music, yet the structure and sequencing of the program leaves something to be desired. However, this is only a minor quibble and will likely depend on each individual listener. Music for a New Century is another successful venture from Hope, and one looks forward to hearing more from this excellent chamber orchestra.
