Emerson Emerson Whithorne 1884 1930 1940 1958
Interestingly, Whithorne's name shows up in concerts throughout the 1930's and 1940's with amazing regularity, yet he is virtually unknown today by the listening public. While maybe not as popular with audiences as the lighter contemporaries of his time, he was nevertheless promoted and praised by critics, conductors and musicians alike during these years. What is hard to understand is that Whithorne enjoyed very little exposure from commercial recording companies then, or for that matter, even today. Yet his music is ahead of its time, densely orchestrated, atmospheric with clashing dissonance. I believe this recording of Whithorne's Symphony No. 2, Op. 56 (1940), which is poor by modern standards being an off-the-air transcription, presents the music of a composer whose remembrance is due. This symphony has substance and depth, and I believe repeated hearing will bring the listener closer to appreciating this forgotten American composer. The movements: Mvmt. 1 / Lento / Allegro con anime Mvmt. 2 / Adagio Mvmt. 3 / Adagio-Allegro from the collection of Karl Miller
