Gerber's music has gained international attention as a result of two CD releases (on Chandos and KOCH) featuring several of his major orchestral works, including the Symphony No. 1. Gerber has also achieved great success in the United States and in his ten tours of the former Soviet Union, perhaps becoming the most often-played living American composer in that area. Of the Symphony No. 1, Evening Moscow wrote, "Gerber could serve as an example of American musical professionalism ...he stands out with the highest of temperaments and musical taste." Mr. Gerber has written for a number of fine soloists including Yuri Bashmet for the viola concerto, Kurt Nikkanen for the violin concerto and Carter Brey for the cello concerto. His work has been performed by groups such as the Louisville Orchestra, Knoxville Chamber Orchestra, the Fine Arts Quartet, the National Chamber Orchestra and the Russian Philharmonic. Steven R.
