Product Description:
Telarc has come up with a real novelty--four Copland scores new to CD. All date from his populist period of accessible Americana tinged with modernism and all make for fascinating listening. From Sorcery to Science accompanied a puppet show plugging the history of drugs for the 1939 World's Fair. Its often witty score begins with a fanfare, segues to chinoiserie, and winds up with a flag-waving march. The City, written for a World's Fair film extolling social engineering, includes some of Copland's finest music in the simple vein, from bucolic rural portraiture to urban bustle complete with blaring auto horns. Copland's music for The Cummington Story, a government documentary about refugee resettlement, is austerely moving; he later used it in his Clarinet Concerto's slow movement. The North Star, a Hollywood World War II epic about Nazis devastating a Russian village, drew an effective score from Copland, huge chunks of which sound like leftovers from Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky. Topnotch sound and performances make this essential for Copland fans. --Dan Davis
