Fanfare for the Common Man,...best recording in your experience?

I have a John Williams version that I like (very, very stately), but don't recall the orchestra/symphony and am too lazy to search for the CD.

Can't help but think of the Emerson, Lake and Palmer (SP?) version, but wish that that I wouldn't (think of it).

+1 rcprince!

Copland wrote it as a stand alone piece, and later it became part of his Third Symphony.  I don’t think that I have any recordings of it without being part of the Symphony.  My two favorite recordings are Leonard Slatkin leading the St Louis SO (much preferred to his later, more Audiophile recording with Detroit, or Bernstein leading the New York Phil, on Sony
