Outsider music: classics of American classical music (26) - Ned Rorem - Violin Concerto (1984) Ned Rorem (Violin Concerto) A neo-romantic composer far from modernist, yet talented, he has composed a lot throughout his career (which ideally is not over yet, although at 97 I find it hard to believe he will publish anything else...), including this violin concerto that is quite appreciated in the community.
