John Jeter (Dir) // The rediscovery of Price's music has revealed one of the most significant bodies of work by an 20th c. African American composer. The variety of genres represented on this release place Price's immense artistic imagination on full display. The two Concert Overtures explore her engagement with spirituals in music, while Songs of the Oak is a tour de force of Hollywood-influenced storytelling while The Oak offers a more anxious, ultimately tragic portrait.
