This disc is devoted to Copland's film music. The treat here is a version of "The Heiress Suite" reconstructed by Arnold Freed. Copland's talent for writing for films rested in his ability to identify and maintain themes, at the same time not slacking on the transitional details. This belongs in any Copland collection.
Terrific cover art from American painter, Thomas Hart Benton.
