Leonard SlatkinAbout
This is the third instalment in Leonard Slatkin’s cycle of Copland’s ballet works with the Detroit Symphony. The first release was the complete recording of Rodeo, with Dance Panels, El Salón México and Danzón Cubano, available on 8559758 (also released in Blu-ray Audio – NBD0037). It was a MusicWeb International ‘Recording of the Year’ (2013) and also received 5 stars from Pizzicato: ‘Leonard Slatkin is a master when it comes to [creating] a real musical atmosphere … magnificently played by the Detroit Symphony…’
The second volume – Appalachian Spring and Hear Ye! Hear Ye! (8559806) – was an AllMusic.com Editor’s Choice: ‘The Detroit Symphony Orchestra gives Slatkin emotionally appropriate performances of both works, emphasizing the gritty urban ambience in Hear Ye! Hear Ye! and the naive sweetness of Appalachian Spring, all the while communicating Copland’s special style of Americana without caricature.’
Leonard Slatkin and the DSO has also recorded Copland’s Third Symphony (in its full version) and Three Latin American Sketches (8559844). It received nominations in the 2017 Grammy and International Classical Music Awards. It is also a BBC Music Magazine ‘Orchestral Choice’, and American Record Guide Critic’s Choice: ‘The Detroit performance is magnificent and will go to the top of many Copland Third lists. It is powerful and squared off in a good way, with inspired playing by the Detroit Symphony and sound to kill for.’
