Reviews

A Copland collection not to be missed, for it contains much rare and inspired music, notably the nostalgic wartime Letter from Home and Prairie Journal, commissioned by the Columbia Broadcasting Network in 1936, predating Billy the Kid and Rodeo, and just as evocative of the Western landscapes. But even more valuable is Copland’s enchanting score for the 1948 film of John Steinbeck’s The Red Pony... JoaAnn Falletta is totally in tune with the Copland ethos and the excellent Buffalo Philharmonic play all this music with a natural understanding of the idiom... Splendidly vivid and atmospheric recording, too.
