William Perry, William Schuman and Virgil Thomson share several important traits.
They are all 20th American composers (though Perry is still alive, which makes him a 21st century composer), and all have written works for solo cello and orchestra.
This podcast introduces these three beautiful but still unknown works.

What an exceptional disc! I will definitely purchase and investigate these composers more.
Glad you liked the music on this disc, these pieces are definitely worth repeated listening. The more of these podcasts I do, the more I realize there is a huge body of outstanding pieces that have only major trait in common – they are unknown.
