\"GatewayClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Last spring, Clarksville\u2019s Gateway Chamber Orchestra quietly released its second album, \u201cChamber Symphonies,\u201d featuring works by Romanian composer George Enescu and Austrian composers Franz Schreker and Arnold Schoenberg.<\/p>\n

The group, made up of Austin Peay State University music faculty and other professional musicians, then took some time off for the summer break. When they returned to Clarksville last fall, the orchestra quickly set to work on one of its most ambitious seasons yet.<\/p>\n

Gateway Chamber Orchestra – “Chamber Symphonies”<\/p><\/div>\n

But as the months slowly passed, music critics and industry professionals found their way to the \u201cChamber Symphonies\u201d album, and the accolades are now beginning to appear in national publications.<\/p>\n

Next month\u2019s issue of Fanfare magazine, a leading music-industry publication, will feature a long interview with the orchestra\u2019s conductor, APSU professor of music Dr. Gregory Wolynec, and four different reviews of the album.<\/p>\n

\u201cWolynec\u2019s Gateway Chamber Orchestra continues to impress me immensely with this release,\u201d music critic Jerry Dubins wrote. \u201cThe players may be university faculty members augmented by practicing musicians from the outside community, but in every way these are topnotch, professional performances that match or outclass the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critic Richard Kaplan enthusiastically wrote, \u201cThese folks, in short, can play!\u201d<\/p>\n

The American Record Guide called the \u201cChamber Symphonies\u201d disc \u201cbold, powerful, American,\u201d and said the orchestra\u2019s rendition of Schreker\u2019s work is \u201cthe most extroverted and bold, with rich, intense colors, a big sound and fine integration of the work\u2019s episodic nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

These reviews, however, aren\u2019t the first hints of the album\u2019s greatness. In December, the disc\u2019s producer, Blanton Alspaugh, was nominated for a Grammy in the category of \u201cProducer of the Year, Classical.\u201d The nomination cited several superb classical albums he helped usher into existence last year, including \u201cChamber Symphonies.\u201d The winner of this category will be named Sunday night during the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n
