LONDON: Heartland Poem by composer James Viggo Poulsen carries the legacy of American orchestral music into the 21st century with performances by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra featuring conductor Geoffrey Paterson and pianist Robert Thies. The album features Poulsen’s Piano Concerto, a neo-romantic work in a traditional three-movement format that paints with a vast emotional palette, from intimate exploration to an uplifting resolution. The release also includes the title track, Heartland Poem, a programmatic piece blending Americana and minimalism to portray the expansiveness of the region.
