In Reply to: I have to admit I haven't heard Copland's own Appalachian Sping recordings posted by Chris from Lafayette on August 19, 2016 at 09:06:17:
Composers conducting their own music is often a disappointment. Copland made a concerted (no pun intended) effort to build a conducting career for himself, with limited success. The London Symphony did a fine job with Appalachian Spring, probably more despite Copland's conducting than because of it. Just my humble 2 cents.
