Tough, tough crowd.

Not even a mention of Copland's own recording (as conductor) with the LSO on RCA. Copland worked hard to make himself into a conductor, with limited success imo. Yet imo his Appalachian Spring is one of the few first rate composer-conducted standard repertoire renditions outside of Stravinsky and Bernstein (though Morton Gould was also an excellent conductor).

And, for a true rarity: Copland's piano reduction, performed by him, on a Pearl CD. I think this was made for Martha Graham to assist in her ballet choreography rather than for public consumption. Still most interesting.
