David Chesky & The 21st Century Symphony Orchestra - The Venetian Concertos (2025) [Official Digital Download]

David Chesky's newest radically original powerful compositions, The Venetian Concertos, are a tribute to the classic Italian Concerto Grosso form. Chesky uses his fondness for the Baroque as a starting point. However, influenced and inspired by Brazilian, Urban, and Latin music, he then replaces the Baroque line contour with dense chromatic polyphony. The collision of styles creates a powerful new definition of the Orchestral Concerto form, one which embraces a more contemporary and relevant approach to both counterpoint and energy.

"Breathes new life into the old forms." (Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine)

"Check this one out - you will be surprised by the music and the stunning performances." (Classical CD Review)

"As for the performances, they are uniformly excellent: I could find virtually no information on the Orchestra of the 21st Century, but they play very well. No conductor is credited in the album information – might it be Chesky himself? The flutist, who plays brilliantly, is also unnamed. The sound reproduction is vivid and well balanced, fully state-of-the-art. I highly recommend this album to those looking for something quite new and bold, but very accessible as well." (Robert Cummings, classical.net)
