Free Music Notes for Copland: The Tender Land (complete opera)Free Music Review: The Tender Land - First Rate Copland Hit: 5 Stars
This is first rate Copland (no doubt about it). Is it first rate Opera? Depends. If your ideal of Opera is Puccini or Verdi or Wagner -- Tender land is not these in American garb.(Wotan in blue Jeans - ? sorry, not this ). It's American Opera, in a style for American Composers. If you like Copland's "easier" style, you'll love this as well. The story is fine and the music serves its purpose - to convey the story's characters feelings and emotions. Brunelle does fine job and the singers serve Aarons music well. If you want the composers' ideas on this work, Copland conducted an abridged version of "Land" that is still available. Interested in other American operas? Carlisle Floyd's "SUSANNAH" (Curtin, Triegle New Orlean Opera) An absolute must ! Douglas Moore's "THE BALLAD OF BABY DOE" ( Sills, Cassilly NYCO ) Edward Thomas' "DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS" (this is a real sleeper - the critics trounced it but it's a fine work in my opinion -besides, how can you go wrong with Jim Morris in the cast? ) Sam Barbers' "VANESSA". Give these AMERICAN OPERAS' a try ( and throw out your preconceived notions of what Opera should be . Its new stuff !
