{"product_id":"copland-the-populist","title":"Copland: The Populist - 4976","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe year 2000 marks the centenary for Aaron Copland, and what better conductor to bring his best-loved Americana compositions into the next millennium than Michael Tilson Thomas? On his follow-up to 1996's Copland: The Modernist disc, the forward-thinking conductor leads the San Francisco Symphony through Billy the Kid, Appalachian Spring, and Rodeo--three well-worn compositions steeped in Americana and virtually owned by Leonard Bernstein on a now legendary single disc. But Tilson Thomas doesn't try to compete with Bernstein, instead giving these works an inventive, impressionistic reading all his own. He adds a noirish color to the introduction of Billy the Kid, a perfect contrast to the work's folksier elements. On the opening of Appalachian Spring, Tilson Thomas's unhurried timings create a sense of suspense (not bad for a work we've all heard dozens of times!). And, thanks to great recording techniques by RCA Victor, Rodeo is a rollicking good time that you'll want to crank up on the stereo. Sure, we've all heard these pieces before, but Tilson Thomas makes them sound fresh again. Great stuff. --Jason Verlinde\n\nProduct description\n\nBrand New\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00004SSDL\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B00004SSDL.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49564453437738,"sku":"GGV.B00004SSDL.VG","price":11.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_8e945237-5a2a-47bb-932b-ef301eb320f2.jpg?v=1731170560","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/copland-the-populist","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
