Description:

While Copland's hugely successful celebration of the American West, Rodeo, has become an American classic, Dance Panels is barely known despite working beautifully as a concert work. Based on popular Mexican melodies, the glittering, even exotic El Salón México is one of Copland's most frequently performed works. Of his rhythmically complex Danzón Cubano, inspired by a visit to a dance hall in Cuba, in which there were two orchestras playing at both ends, the composer himself wrote: "I did not attempt to reproduce an authentic Cuban sound but felt free to add my own touches of displaced accents and unexpected silent beats. "GRAMMY ® Award-winning conductor Leonard Slatkin's recording of Copland's Lincoln Portrait (Naxos CD 8.559373-74) received" the kind of performance that brought tears to my eyes ".

Recorded at the Orchestra Hall at the Max M. Fisher Music Center, Detroit, USA, from 9th to 11th November, 2012 (tracks 1-5), and from 12th to 14th October, 2012 (tracks 6-14).
