Music reviews of Bernstein Century - Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, etc / Bernstein, New York PO
Music Review: Cult recordings!
Rating: 5 Stars
Appalachian spring was first given by the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Artur Rodzinsky (October 4, 1945). According the very Copland, the music of the ballet takes as its point of departure the personality of Martha Graham. She borrowed it from the heading of one of hart Crane's poems, though the ballet seems to bear no relation to the text of the poem itself. Certainly, and despite the work is complex and abstruse, many people (like myself) regard this was the most ambitious and pyramidal of his entire symphonic works.
It was well known the close affinity between these two notable composers. And Copland's repertoire was always a reference cornerstone among the countless concerts given by Mr. Bernstein. As a matter of fact the only remarkable conductor who approached with successful ovations was Antal Dorati.
Nevertheless the sumptuous flavor, idiomatic lexicon and hair-raising flair of these emblematic performances have become through all these years not only the obligated parameter against the others must be compared. And like the good wine, this album improves itself with the years, due its mercurial energy and phlegmatic effervescence.
A real treasure from the file.
Description of Bernstein Century - Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, etc / Bernstein, New York PO
Happy is the composer who has an advocate as passionate and talented as Leonard Bernstein. These Copland performances have been the preferred versions since they were first issued--better even than the composer's own, later recordings. Originally they were spread over two discs, but thanks to the extended playing time of the compact disc, you can now get all three great Copland ballets together, along with the ever popular Fanfare for the Common Man. Bernstein brings to this music the right sharpness of rhythm but also a typically open-hearted warmth. He coaxes a virtuoso response from the New York Philharmonic, which knows this music as well (or better) than anyone. Self- recommending. --David HurwitzGeneral CDs
