Music reviews of The Copland Collection: Orchestral & Ballet Works, 1936-1948
Music Review: Definitive Recordings!
Rating: 5 Stars
These are without a doubt the definitive recordings of Copland's work. Who else could interpret these works better than the composer himself. The performances are excellent, rarely forced and affected. The recording sound is warm and natural. Highly recomended!!
Description of The Copland Collection: Orchestral & Ballet Works, 1936-1948
Aaron Copland made numerous recordings of his own music, including an extensive series for CBS during the 1960s and '70s, mostly with London orchestras. He was not an especially proficient conductor--consequently, the performances he conducted often lacked pace and rhythmic punch. His last recordings of his most popular scores have been reissued by Sony on an exceptionally well-remastered 3-CD set. These accounts do a good job of conveying the overall shape of the pieces, and they deliver telling characterizations of many episodes. Details emerge that are lost in some other accounts, and there is an appealing gentleness and sweetness to the approach. But the readings do not have as much grip as those of Bernstein and Slatkin, among others, and in spite of the authority they automatically possess, they are not necessarily preferable. --Ted LibbeyGeneral CDs
