He goes on to admire Copland, Corigliano, and others. Fine music, indeed.

I would like to add high praise for The Klezmer Concerto by Ofer Ben-Amots.
I have now heard it twice in live performance by David Krakauer, and I find
it exciting and moving. It is music that sticks with me. I do not know if
and how it is available, but Ofer's website might have information.

I should also mention an interesting new concerto by Daniel Nelson, a young
Swedish composer. There is a recording on the Intim Musik label, a CD I
picked up in Stockholm this summer.
