Awards and reviews

January 2015

Copland conducted many of his own works, and this 5-CD set brings together many of his own recordings, mainly with the London Symphony Orchestra, as well as an extensive survey of the solo piano music by Leo Smit. A particular highlight is a recording of the Clarinet Concerto with Benny Goodman, for whom the concerto was written.
