Following a highly successful recording of Copland's ballet music, John Wilson, a specialist in American music, and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra present the first volume of the composer's complete symphonic output.
This unique collection of vivid and energetic pieces highlights Copland’s personal, unorthodox compositional language. The mixture of works of austerity and tense excitement ranges widely, from the twenty Orchestral Variations on an original theme (originally written for piano) to the single-movement controversial Symphonic Ode, a rhythmically complex piece written in its original incarnation for a huge orchestra including eight horns and five trumpets. The album features also the lesser-known Short Symphony (No. 2) and early Symphony for Organ and Orchestra, in which the solo instrument throughout is closely integrated with the music of the orchestra. The organ soloist is the young Jonathan Scott. Since a highly successful Gershwin concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2014, he is increasingly acclaimed around the world for his performances of American music.
The second volume in Chandos' audiophile series of the orchestral works of Aaron Copland is devoted to four seldom recorded compositions: the Symphony for Organ and Orchestra (1924), the Symphonic Ode (1927-1929), the Symphony No. 2, "Short Symphony" (1931), and the Orchestral Variations (1957), which is an arrangement of the Piano Variations (1930). The dates may give clues to the experimental nature of these early works, which Copland composed well before discovering his American vernacular style in Billy the Kid, Rodeo, and Appalachian Spring. Instead of the broad, folk-like themes and homespun character of those pieces, here Copland's music is knottier and more abstruse, and his tonality at times borders on atonality, particularly in the Orchestral Variations: Yet Copland's mastery of orchestration and skill at developing even the thorniest material into meaningful expressions makes the music accessible, even in the rather cerebral and meandering Organ Symphony, which seems to explore chromaticism without a clear direction. John Wilson leads the BBC Philharmonic in these committed performances, and the fullness and warmth of the orchestra contribute greatly to the music's appeal, making these early scores accessible to new listeners who never suspected the modernist side of Copland.
