of orchestral works, and the third set (1948-1971) did not include
info/durations/etc. for the individual movements of each work. The CD
booklet is there, but the movement info is not. Is this the case with
others of you who have this CD set? If anyone has this info, could you
contact me? Thanks.

That's what my copy is like, too, so that may just be how they issued
it. Does your CD player not have a read-out which lets you pick out the
track timings?
I'm also very annoyed that the non-orchestral recordings, and some
others, are still in not-issued-on-CD limbo. This would include various
of the chamber works (Sextet, "Vitebsk," that flute work with Elaine
Shaffer) and some vocal ones ("American Folk Songs" with Warfield). Not
to mention the abridged _Tender Land_ with Treigle, Bible, etc. So I
can't dump the rest of my Copland LPs yet....

That is what I figured. Oh well....

Yeah, I will just do that then. At least the booklet is rather
informative, so no big deal, I suppose.

That is surprising, yes. Soon, let's hope. But there doesn't appear to
be a big push for non-ballet Copland these days, does it? I AM very happy
that Naxos has initiated their American Music series, and other North
Americans like Sowerby are getting exposure, but I wish someone would
complete the Copland catalog soon also.
Thanks Matthew.

Alas, no, also Slatkin, MTT and a few others have been trying to change
that. But just a few days ago, I was listening to KUSC (which is *much*
better now that the worthless GM and his incompetent wife have vanished
to Lawn Guyland), and the announcer intro'd, "The 'pas de trois' from
Aaron Copland's ballet, 'Dance Panels.'" He then played the "Hoedown"
from "Rodeo"! Then the announcer came on again, and outro'd, "The 'pas
de trois' from Aaron Copland's ballet, 'Dance Panels'"!!!

Sony has just reissued the "Second Hurricane" performance as part
of the Bernstein Century series, if I remember correctly from
seeing it at Tower in Paramus last week. What I did pick up were
the other Lenny/Copland titles in the Bernstein Century series --
the one with Music for the Theater/Piano Concerto/Connotations/El
Salon Mexico (1951 mono vers.) The other is my old favorite,
Latin American Fiesta, with Danzon Cubano and the stereo Salon
Mexico. The remasterings are good, but somehow I think they added
some digital reverb, the sound is less up-front than the old LPs,
and the bass is still thin. But both are worth getting anyway.
