CLEVELAND CHAMBER SYMPHONY RELEASE RECEIVES CRITICAL ACCLAIM!

"The [six] discs contain pieces you'll want to hear over and over...Their performances under London...reveal not only their technical prowess but also their abiding affection for the new."
Donald Rosenberg, GRAMOPHONE, Oct. 2006

Under the imaginative and pioneering direction of its Music Director Edwin London, the Cleveland Chamber Symphony gave eight or more concerts each season (for over twenty-five years) devoted to introducing new music, most of it by American composers. TNC Recordings is proud to release this unique 6-CD set.
