Product Description
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 Hurwitz
Customer Rating: Summary: Bernstein and Copeland Comment: Copeland's Appalachian Spring and other suites such as Rodeo and Billy the Kid are are at their finest in the hands of Leonard Bernstein. Bernstein gives clarity and strength to America's best composer still to date.
Listening to this CD is a great pleasure and leaves one in an optimistic and forward-looking mood
Customer Rating: Summary: The Sting Comment: Being a nostalgia buff, I am always drawn to movies such as these and the actors that really fit the part. Yes, it is on my favorites list.
Customer Rating: Summary: Soaring!!! Comment: wow! This is my favorite Classical CD. If you're Bipolar and on an upswing this CD will have you soaring with Eagles.
Customer Rating: Summary: COPLAND A BREATH OF SPRING AIR Comment: THE WONDER OF A MAN'S MIND IN HIS CREATION OF THESE MUSIC PORTRAYALS IS STUNNING. BERNSTEIN INTERPRETATION IS ALIVE AND VIBRANT OF COPLANDS MUSIC. I LOVE IT.
Customer Rating: Summary: What more could one ask for? Comment: Aaron Copland's masterful works are here interpreted by Bernstein. Nothing says the American sound like Copland, and there is no better interpreter than Bernstein. This recording is one of the best in my collection. I would recommend this to anyone (even non-classical music fans).
