With each new work and new recording, Kernis (b. 1960) solidifies his position as the most important traditional-minded composer of his generation. Others may be exploring musical frontiers more restlessly, but no one else is writing music quite this vivid or powerfully direct. ...He won the prestigious Grawemeyer Award in Music Composition in 2002 for his work Colored Field, making him the youngest composer to win that prize.
The San Francisco Chronicle


Like Adams, Kernis has written his share of music with overtones of political protest; a clutch of these works came along in the middle '90s, a time when the ugly political realities of the New World Order coincided with a turbulent period in his own life. Among them were the Second Symphony, an anguished protest over the human waste of the Gulf War; his Lament and Prayer for violin and orchestra (premiered and recorded by Pamela Frank and the Minnesota Orchestra), which commemorated "the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Holocaust;" and the piano quartet Still Movement with Hymn (commissioned by American Public Radio and dedicated to Twin Cities arts philanthropist and Minnesota Orchestra Board Emeritus Director Kenneth N. Dayton), shaken into being not only by the unexpected death of an admired senior colleague, composer Stephen Albert, but by the disturbing news images coming out of Bosnia and Croatia. Colored Field, first commissioned as a concerto for English horn and orchestra, is very much one of these works, and it shows Kernis at his absolute best: richly expressive, magnificently orchestrated, and structurally sound, this version is easily one of the best oboe-family concertos to be written since those of Strauss and Vaughan Williams.
