| Program Notes | (From CD liner notes, Mark Yacovone): The first two movements introduce us to a Stock who wishes to dazzle. Albeit, in different ways. The first movement, marked Obsessive, is obsessively resplendent. But the composer knows that this aura of resplendency is more than icing. What might on the surface seem merely vivid coloration hides other shades of wonder. It is transformed into the rapturous second movement, Reflective. This is more than a dramatic contrivance designed to play upon our emoutions. It conjures up and presents to us a myriad of feelings and emotions. The third movement, Manic, is well--relentless. This Scherzo-Trio has a nice little sidebar. In 1992, he composed a "Happy Birthday" variation for his wife's 50th birthday. It was designed to be performed by the Kronos Quartet as a surprise at a concert with the composer and his wife in attendance. Kronos was unable to prepare this and it did not materialize. But the Quartet offered in its place "Foxy Laday," surprising the birthday girl. Well, not to forsake a good birthday tune, Stock later incorporated it into the Trio of this movement. Listen closely. The Quartet concludes with a movement marked Intense. Cuarteto Latinoamericano plays with great duende, leaving us with a better understanding of the personal nature of this work. |
