Kurt Oppens on Music: An Aspen Legacy offers 180 program notes and two dozen essays in a 500-page volume that ranges from warhorses seen from a refreshing slant to the avant-garde taken head on. Oppens first came to Aspen in 1951 as a piano technician and signed on as the Aspen Music Festival’s annotator in 1957, enjoying over the ensuing four decades his “double existence” as craftsman and writer. “Wise and passionate at the same time,” states composer William Bolcom.
