Title: Copland conducts Appalachian Spring here
Review: Although I agree with a previous reviewer, that the connection with Bernard Herrmann is apparent to at least *some* of us, I have to disagree on one crucial fact: It's not Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic playing "Appalachian Spring" on this recording.It's Aaron Copland himself conducting the Boston Symphony. That's a treat, although I like others' interpretations a bit better. If only for sentimental reasons, this stands out.And, since this is a potpourri of recordings, here's the lineup:Aaron Copland/Boston Symphony: "Appalachian Spring" and "The Tender Land (orchestral music from the opera)"Eugene Ormandy/Philadelphia Orchestra: "Fanfare for the Common Man" and "Billy the Kid"Arthur Fiedler/Boston Pops: "Rodeo: Hoedown"
