Summary: Copland performed at its best
Comment: This CD is one of my favorites in my classical collection. Several years ago, I borrowed this recording from the library, and enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought my own Copland CD. I got the CD containing the New York Philharmonic's performance of Appalachain Spring (conducted by Bernstein), but was sorely disappointed. After a few months of searching (this was pre-Amazon days), I tracked down this CD and bought it. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is superb. I highly recommend this CD for any Copland fan, or anyone who wants to have a "token" classical CD.

Summary: Lane and Copland and Atlanta, what a great team!
Comment: The performance by all is first-rate; and the sonic picture is terrific!The interpretation of Appalachian Spring is one of my absolute favorites--I treasure it.
Atlanta sounds world-class. Worth the money, despite the short measure of the disc!

Summary: Essential Copland
Comment: This was one of my first CD purchases several years ago. It was always one of my favorites. I always considered other recordings of these works, some of which I own, to lack the energy and clarity of this recording. Unfortunately I lost this recording on a recent business trip and need to replace it in my collection. While this CD was not the first I had heard of Copland this particular recording made me appreciate the truely american character of this composer. I now consider myself a true Copland fan.
