About

Strongly inclined towards neo-romanticism, Richard Danielpour’s music is a rich unity of energy, intensity and serenity.

First Light reveals these elements perfectly, with its rhythmically charged writing contrasting with hypnotic chant melodies. The Awakened Heart is a kaleidoscopic three-movement work that ranges from darkness and passion through a stately chorale to an exuberant and breathless conclusion.

Symphony No.3 charts a triumphant ascent from “the dream of death and our own fearful existence” to a belief “in a world of hope and love.”

Danielpour is an outstanding composer for any time – one who knows how to communicate deep, important emotions through simple, direct means.” - The New York Daily News
