AGP120 is the first of two featuring works by the influential American composer Lukas Foss. Frankly, he has never been a special favorite of mine, but I enjoyed listening to many of the works in this installment and AGP121. A number of them show clear minimalist influences, but without as much of a populist bent as Steve Reich and Philip Glass had. The rhythms and harmonies are more complex, often to intriguing effect.
This week's installment includes one Foss composition from the same Deutsche Grammophon LP that filled out AGP119, as well as a work by Elliott Schwartz from the same LP. The remaining tracks come from a Gramavision Records LP (GR7005).
