Query: Sumptuous performance. Gorgeous music.

This is the most beautifully performed version of Appalachian Spring this listener has ever heard. The CD won a Grammy and deservedly so. The Short Symphony is similarly a unique performance and lives long in the memory. The Ives is a good contrast as well. However, it is Copeland's "Appalachian Spring" that is the star of this CD. It tells a moving story and the characters and their actions are beautifully represented. Yes, the composition is well known to be brilliant, but this performance provides the piece the airing it deserves and when composition and performance are both amazing, the experience is exhilirating.
