Copland: Orchestral & Ballet Works, 1936-1948

Search: Celebration
from: Sony

Release Date January 18, 1991
The sum is greater than the parts. This is a great Copland collection and shows his diversity. Yet as divers and the three CD are they are all distinctively Copland. Benny Goodman is usually associated with jazz yet he was also diverse in his career. "Concerto for Clarinet, Strings, and Harp & Piano" is a mantra that will carry you to a timeless place.

An added plus is the many other popular pieces that you know you heard but did not realize it was Copland especially the music from movies.

You may have to play the set a few times before being able to recognize the different tracks by name. The down side is many of Copland's works are outside of the date range of this collection.

Original Jacket Collection (10cd)

There has always been something about Leonard Bernstein that I have found appealing, he was a real innovator, difficult, temperamental, but what a phenomenal talent! I enjoy his openess to broader musical forms then the strictly classical, and to me that adds credibility to his work. What Bernstein interprets usually has something different about it, particularly those recordings from his later years. Generally speaking you either like or loathe those interpretations. But in these earlier recordings I think what we are hearing is a young man excelling in his god given talent for music. The Shostakovich Symphony No 5 is intense, moving and ecstatic, I would have bought this set for that alone. But all the works are, in my humble but prejudiced ... Read More:
