Mr. Soluri recently completed a commission for the orchestral score to a new ballet by Dances Patrelle "What do We do About Mother" -- this is his 3rd ballet score with choreographer Francis Patrelle. Featured dancers included Jenifer Ringer and Stephen Hanna (principal dancers New York City Ballet) with five performances March 23-25, 2007 at the Alvin Ailey Theater in New York City. Check out the March 26th New York Times review which exclaims, "a colorful score by Patrick Soluri."
An orchestral recording of both this new score and Madame X has been completed and is available on CD! The recording was of the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra conducted by Richard Auldon Clark. The recording process was a truly amazing experience and was fortunate to work with some incredible people, such as conductor Richard Auldon Clark, engineer Joe Castellon (NY Philharmonic, Rolling Stones, Dizzy Gillespie and everyone in between!) and producer Richard Martinez (Elliot Goldenthal).
The CD
was remixed in August 2007 and then mastered in early September by mastering engineer Andreas Meyer (Sony Music Studios NYC and Meyer Media). The new CD is available online at iTunes, Amazon and other online retailers! |
