David Diamond's "Diamond: Symphony No. 3 / Psalm / Kaddish" is a compelling exploration of orchestral and chamber music, released on Naxos in 2003. This album showcases Diamond's mastery of composition, blending profound emotional depth with intricate musical structures. The symphony, divided into four movements, takes the audience through a journey of dynamic contrasts, from the bold and decisive Allegro deciso to the introspective Adagio assai. Complementing the symphony are the hauntingly beautiful "Psalm" and "Kaddish for Cello and Orchestra," pieces that highlight Diamond's ability to evoke a sense of solemnity and reverence. With a duration of just over 50 minutes, this album is a testament to Diamond's enduring legacy in the classical music world.
