 INKPOT - Elliott Carter Holiday Overture Symphony No.1 Piano Concerto Mark Wait,piano, Nashville SO, Kenneth ...
I use the term "degenerate" in view of the perception among composers, performers and audience alike in their tendency to make clear separations of influence between two extremes: the high culture of classical tradition (the ivory-tower snobbery) and the low culture of popular entertainment (tainted by exploitative commercialism).
Koehne is by no means alone in this endeavour: the Beatles-inspired Latvian composer Imants Kalnins wrote his Fourth Symphony, "Rock" (recorded by the Singapore SO on BIS CD-1052), both as a form of aesthetic expression, as well as a polemic for political protest.
Koehne's approach is also reflected in his cheekily unconventional and self-deprecating titles, an intentional irony that "classical" music need not always (pretentiously) follow the usual institutions of nomenclature with opus numbers and keys, but rather embraces the rival tradition so that each might benefit the other.

With two biggish works following each other in brittle classic moulds yielding unclassic sounds and mixed in a mélée of romantic and selective modern language, one needs to ponder the result.

That said, both composers are professional and provide the result of painstaking thought and work.
