MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Copland: Billy the Kid / Rodeo (Suites) (plus Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite) (Rec 1957 & 1960)

Morton Gould, who knew both Copland and Grofe, brings a composer's perspective to his authoritative interpretations of their greatest works. Already excellent sounding recordings assume demonstration quality in their new DSD remasterings.

"Overall, the performance really does bring some verve into the three works outlined, the two ballet suites are spacious and bring out Copland's very individual style and use of the orchestra, while in the Grofé suite the cinematic scope of the work is brought to the fore. I would recommend it very highly to anyone interested in these works."
