Free Music Review: Stringent and Acerbic
Hit: 4 Stars
These days Copland is mainly known for his pastorales (Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, Fanfare, Billy The Kid) but during his lifetime he was equally on the frontier of modernist non-programmatic composing. The Complete Music for Solo Piano reminds us of this forgotten coin, with uncompromising, even harsh-sounding keyboard excursions of Schoenbergian/Webernist ferocity. Leo Smit's interpretation is translucent and illuminative, with enough delicacy to bring out the inner lyricism in these troubled stormclouds.
Copland: The Young Pioneers (The Complete Music for Solo Piano) Poster
Most of this set was recorded for LP in 1978, but Leo Smit returned to the studios in 1993 to add some recently discovered short pieces. Smit, a friend of Copland and a composer himself, plays all of Copland's piano music with great comprehension. He sustains the flow throughout the difficult half-hour Piano Fantasy, though he doesn't create as much excitement in the Piano Variations as the composer did in 1935 on 78s (now on Pearl GEMM CD 9279). Much of Copland's piano music is occasional works or pieces for students, but the major works in the set make it well worth hearing. --Leslie GerberClassical Music CDs
