This important Copland collection includes at least two indispensable items. Copland was an incomparable player of his own music, and his performance of the Piano Concerto has more bounce and jazz in it than any other I've heard. And Connotations, one of Copland's late, adventurous works, is still very seldom heard. Just because it doesn't sound like Appalachian Spring doesn't mean it isn't great Copland. Music for the Theatre is another under-appreciated work. Of course, Bernstein's conducting in all this music is completely sympathetic. The version of El Sálon México is Leonard Bernstein's brash 1951 mono recording, never on CD before. --Leslie Gerber
