When
you are a prodigy, you
should study with the
best. For Lukas Foss
(born Lukas Fuchs), this
meant studying
orchestration with Felix
Wolfes, composition with
Noel Gallon, and even
flute with Louis Moyse.
In 1937, his family moved
to the United States, the
family name became Foss,
and young Lukas would
attend the Curtis
Institute of Music in
Philadelphia, where he
would meet fellow
classmate Leonard
Bernstein. This led to a
lifelong friendship of
mutual
admiration-Bernstein
would conduct the world
premiere of Time Cycle,
and Foss would conduct
the premiere of Symphonic
Dances from West Side
Story. Time Cycle would
garner the New York Music
Critics Circle Award for
1961 and be hailed as a
true masterpiece of
American music. Sony
Classical has included
the premiere recording by
Leonard Bernstein and the
Columbia Symphony
Orchestra with soloist
Adele Addison in their
remastered series
Bernstein Century.
