Ida Kavafian, DAUGHERTY, M.: Fire and Blood / MotorCity Triptych / Raise the Roof (Kavafian, B. Jones, Detroit Symphony, N. Jarvi)

Label: Naxos

The celebrated and adventuresome violinist Ida Kavafian powers her way through a rollicking set of music by the dynamic American composer Michael Daugherty, whose kinetic works harness the unbridled energy of popular culture, often based on icons ranging from Jackie O to Superman. Neeme Jarvi leads his Detroit Symphony Orchestra through a madcap "Fire and Blood" and "Motor City Triptych," among others.
