It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Copland Himself!!

Conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra.

I've listened to the Bernstein version, and while it's better-played by the orchestra, the nuances of the Copland performance are glossed over- To me it sounds more like a virtuosic exercise. I heard another performance of the symphony, with the Minnesota Orchestra (conductor escapes me), where the playing is closer to the Bernstein performance, but the interpretation at least comes closer to the that of the composer. (At least in the final movement- I did not hear the rest of the Minnesota performance.)
