Copland's own performance with the London Symphony Orchestra is hard to beat (Columbia M 30649), but not in the same league sonically as the Johanos. .

Simply outstanding! The 'Fanfare' will really impress anyone looking for a way to demo his system and the rest will impress anyone looking for fine performances. Don't miss it.
