Akiho,andy - Beneath Lighted Coffers; Concerto For Steel Pans & - Super Audio CD

Reference Recordings proudly presents our first collaboration with the Oregon Symphony, in a spectacular live recording featuring composer and steel pannist Andy Akiho. Born in 1979 in Columbia, South Carolina, Mr. Akiho is a "trailblazing" (Los Angeles Times) Pulitzer Prize finalist and seven-time GRAMMY-nominated composer whose bold works unravel intricate and unexpected patterns while surpassing preconceived boundaries of classical music. The multi- GRAMMY Award nominated Oregon Symphony, led by Jean Vollum Music Director David Danzmayr, serves hundreds of thousands of people annually through concerts, educationinitiatives, and community programs. With a 129-year legacy, it is the sixth oldest orchestra in the United States, and oldest in the Western United States. Recorded in superb audiophile sound, this exciting album was engineered by Mark Donahue and produced by Blanton Alspaugh, both multi-GRAMMY winners.
