Product Description

From Amazon.com

Leonard Slatkin, who has done such outstanding service for American music, upholds the Copland tradition with potent, sympathetically argued accounts of the big ballets. The performances by the Saint Louis Symphony could hardly be bettered, and the recordings stand out for their solid sound as well. Slatkin does both Billy the Kid and Rodeo in full, restoring some delightful music in both scores that is missed when only the suites are presented. In Rodeo, for example, it comes as a delicious surprise to hear the Saloon-piano interlude before the "Saturday Night Waltz"--and Slatkin insists on an out-of-tune upright--just the right touch. These are idiomatic, persuasive accounts, thrilling in their buildups and potent in their climaxes. Even Appalachian Spring is done in full, though in its version for full orchestra. The treatment here is gentle, and while Slatkin generates less voltage than Bernstein, his reading has nobility and an engaging warmth. The recordings were made at a rather low level, but have a wonderful ambience and extraordinary dynamic range. Unfortunately, the individual scenes of both Billy the Kid and Appalachian Spring are not separately banded. --Ted Libbey

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing- couldn't believe my luck with this one., 30 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Copland: Appalachian Spring/Billy the Kid/Rodeo Suite (Audio CD)
This is a gem that brings out the best of Copland in his three major ballets. I was not expecting anything great for the money but from the moment I put it on I fell instantly in love with it. The smooth luxury of the "Appalachian Spring" is the perfect music to wake up to- just close your eyes and dream as this beautiful piece hands out about 20 minutes of divine tunes. The "Billy the Kid" suite casts you straight into the states with dramatic melodies which jump from been joyful to been mornfull to been dramatic. The "Rodeo" ballet brings the piece to an amazing end in all its frenzy. Stopping for a breath with the Nocturne and Waltz before shootimg off with the unstoppable Rodeo to end with- its a wonderful show all round. With parts conducted by the composer himself, you can guarentee you are getting the real thing. For the £4:99 you can't go wrong. An amazing buy for over an hour perfectly wonderfull music. The orchestras have a distinc american sound and they can play the music with all the vigour and sympathy it needs. This will be your best buy all year. You can't go wrong with this one!

Sam.

4.0 out of 5 stars american classic, 28 May 2009
By Oliver Rawnsley (leeds, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Appalachian Winter/Bernstein (Audio CD)
I initially bought this cd for appalachian spring which is a fantastic piece i heard randomly, it's relaxing and then uplifting in a way that makes you want to listen again.
I thought from the titles that rodeo and billy the kid would be western style and not in keeping with the rest of the cd. while fun pieces they're not too jovial and fit quite well.

i've tried to write this review as best i can, but it's the first classical cd i've bought. so buy this if you want someone with a large punk/metal/ska collection to open their ears

4.0 out of 5 stars Aaron Copland - Billy the Kid/Rodeo (complete scores)., 4 Sep 2003
By Ryan Hepburn (Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aaron Copland: Billy the Kid; Rodeo (Audio CD)
To my mind, it is a real shame that Copland's complete ballet scores to Billy the Kid and Rodeo are not explored, performed or recorded more often. Leonard Slatkin's recording highlights just how brilliant the full scores are. With more dramatic music in the Billy full score than appears in the well known suite and more humour in the Rodeo score than appears in the Four Dance Episodes, these full scores show Copland's 'populist' talents to the full.

Slatkin's readings are informed and generally excellent although they don't possess the exciting, unrelenting energy that comes with some other Copland interpreters such as Michael Tilson Thomas. However, this recording is certainly of tremendous quality with fine playing from the St Louis Symphony Orchestra.

It's unfortunate that there aren't any other recordings of the complete scores. If there were, reveiwing this one would all the more simpler...
