James Judd - Symphony 3 / Billy the Kid Suite - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

NAXOS gives us a superior recording of Copland's 3rd Symphony. James Judd and his New Zealand forces capture all the detail at a pace that's just right. Though Copland provided no program, throughout there is the open expanse of Americana without quotations from folk music. This is his most ambitiousorchestral work. The finale in grand scale incorporates InchFanfare For The Common ManInch which builds and builds to a shimmering full orchestral climax. Album Tracks 1. Billy the Kid (Suite) 2. Molto Moderato 3. Allegro Molto 4. Andantino 5. Molto Deliberato
