A handful of Aaron Copland’s works may be firmly established in the orchestral repertory, but much of his music seems strangely unfashionable now, only rarely turning up in concerts on this side of the Atlantic. But there are signs a revival is under way, at least on disc. Naxos has begun a series devoted to Copland’s ballets – the latest release pairs Appalachian Spring with the rarely heard Hear Ye! Hear Ye! This CD is the second instalment of a more extensive survey of the orchestral music from Chandos. John Wilson launched it earlier this year with a disc of the popular ballets, but this collection.
