AARON COPLAND (1900 – 1990)

Aaron Copland and Dennis Russell Davies: The Complete Musical Heritage Society Recordings

Aaron Copland and Dennis Russell Davies: The Complete Musical Heritage Society Recordings

Once in a while you hear a performance that makes you want to go away and reassess all over again the work of a performer or composer who you thought you knew. This is one such disc - it has me reaching for all of my 'problematic' Copland discs all over again and has me looking out for any other recording featuring Ms Schneiderman. <br>

Dennis Russell Davies collaborated with Aaron Copland on Copland's works, and won awards for his recordings of Copland's music. The Musical Heritage Society embarked on a series of recordings, mostly with The Orchestra of St. Luke's, to memorialize new arrangements and rarely recorded works.
