Why This CD Matters
Aaron Copland’s ballet music draws on American folk and dance traditions to evoke the frontier settings of Billy the Kid and Rodeo. This recording presents both complete ballets, performed by Leonard Slatkin and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. Recorded at Powell Symphony Hall in 1985, it brings together two of Copland’s best-known works for the stage.
Collector Note
This is the US Angel Records CD reissue, catalog number CDC 7 47382 2, with the label also identified as Angel Records Digital. The disc was glass-mastered at DADC, code DIDX-000525, a useful identifier for this CD issue. The program contains the complete ballet scores rather than selections.
