Bravo! Vail Music Festival: St. Paul Chamber Orchestra: Copland’s Appalachian Spring

"Not one, but two double concerti form the heart of this kaleidoscopic program: Bottesini’s thrillingly entertaining tour de force contrasts with the poignant drama and striking effects of For Justice and Peace, written to commemorate the first slave ship landing in America. Copland described his Pulitzer Prize-winning Appalachian Spring as celebrating the 'pioneer American spirit, with youth and spring, with optimism and hope.'"
