	MUSIC REVIEW: Lukas Foss: Piano Concertos, Elegy for Anne Frank -- Pacific Symphony Orchestra, Nakamatsu, and Kasman ...
		Lukas Foss, a composer worthy of Aaron Copland’s fame and influence, minus a blockbuster like Appalachian Spring to provide it, certainly falls into that category of somewhat neglected American composers.
		The narration, provided by Eliza Foss, an actress and daughter of Lukas Foss, is professional, but it is a kind of professionalism that verges on aloofness, the opposite emotion than the desired one of utter involvement.
		Foss seems to have the piano play the role of the young girl hiding in a townhouse in Amsterdam.

		It's also interesting that echoes of Leonard Bernstein turn up as well, especially in the rhythmically alive and almost dancing finale (not so surprising when you consider that Bernstein himself was deeply influenced by Stravinsky).
		Elegy for Anne Frank (1989) is a much later work, and it presents the composer's more somber side.
		Frank's grippingly honest and vivid insights make listening to the work a chilling experience, but Foss' piece is strong enough to satisfy on its own account (the CD offers both narrated and un-narrated versions).
