SAN FRANCISCO — Originally released on compact disc to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the birth of America's favorite composer, now on LP for the first time!
The MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA and conductor EIJI OUE display a real affinity for these Copland masterpieces: Fanfare for the Common Man and the magnificent Third Symphony, recorded in “Prof.” Johnson's most exciting HDCD sound.
“… There has never been a stereo recording of Copland's Third that approaches the concert-hall experience. Until now. This recording clearly has great value as a musical experience, but it also sets a new standard as a sonic showcase for a nearly impossible-to-record work.” — Arthur B. Lintgen, THE ABSOLUTE SOUND
“Oue's performances are shapely, tasteful, beautifully played, with a judicious balance of drama and restraint. The recorded sound is nothing short of awesome; you might want to obtain this CD just as an audio experience.” — Peter Aczel, THE AUDIO CRITIC
“A compelling performance of the Third Symphony. I think this is among the best recordings since Bernstein - and the sound is spectacular.” — Peter Dickinson, GRAMOPHONE
“This is the best interpretation of the Copland Third in a generation, and the sound is Keith Johnson at his considerable best. That is to say, jaw-dropping and a revelation.” — Harry Pearson, THE ABSOLUTE SOUND (Also listed in HP's Super CD List, Top 10)
“This is one damned fine Copland disc. And the sound! the power, the impact, the three-dimensional image – it beats all the competition. This disc could easily be anybody's first choice for a modern Copland collection.“
