In some ways Piston was the dean of American music. But as a result of his intellect and his association with the university environment, he was considered to be a somewhat dull, academic composer. Walter Piston was an American composer of the first half of the 20th century who began his work life as an architectural draftsman, played in dance bands, and finished life as a tenured professor at Harvard. In between, he composed about 30 major works including eight symphonies. The present disc includes Piston's Symphony No. 4, Serenata for Orchestra, and Three New England Sketches performed by Gerard Schwartz and the Seattle Symphony and New York Chamber Symphony (Serenata) on the Delos label. Schwartz and the Seattle Symphony give each work a credible performance with brighter sound that RCA afforded Slatkin in his Symphony 6. The same is true for the Sketches.

Leggerissimo vivace Walter Piston; London Symphony Orchestra; Lance Friedel. 3. III. Adagio sereno Walter Piston; London Symphony Orchestra; Lance Friedel. When American composers began writing symphonies around the mid-1800s, their works were very much in the European tradition. During the first half of the 20th century, the great innovator Charles Ives injected a recognizably American sound into the genre, however, and since then the American symphonic legacy has been both wide and varied. With the present disc, conductor Lance Friedel strikes a blow for three fellow American composers, with the help of the eminent London Symphony Orchestra.
