Alan Hovhaness's remarkable legacy of 67 symphonies and hundreds of other works stands as a testimony to one of the most individual musical voices of the 20th century. Written when Hovhaness was 25, the Prelude and Quadruple Fugue represents not only his mastery of counterpoint but in it's sweeping climactic form is also one of his most exciting works. The Soprano Saxophone Concerto is like a melodic tone poem or aria, and considered the most Romantic concerto Hovhaness ever wrote. "Inspired by the wonders and mysteries of astronomy" and appearing here in it's première recording, the Symphony No. 48'Vision of Andromeda' expresses the vastness of this galaxy through giant melodies, shimmering orchestral colors and a transcendent apotheosis.
