“The National Symphony Orchestra and I are proud to present this debut album on our new label. These live recordings were made at our home, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. It is only fitting that this recording is dedicated to two composers who greatly contributed to the tapestry of American music.” – Gianandrea Noseda, NSO Music Director
