Info for Copland: Appalachian Spring & Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Das Detroit Symphony Orchestra zählt zu den sogenannten 'Big Five', den fünf namhaftesten Sinfonieorchestern der USA. Wenn ein solches Orchester Aaron Copland interpretiert, kann man das nur als Glücksfall für die Musik bezeichnen! Erst recht dann, wenn dem äußerst selten gespielten Jazz-Ballett Hear Ye! Hear Ye! diese Ehre widerfährt. Zudem gibt es Coplands wohl bekanntestes Stück Appalachian Spring zu hören in dieser Top-Aufnahme unter Leitung des Detroiter Chefdirigenten Leonard Slatkin.

Detroit Symphony Orchestra
The internationally acclaimed Detroit Symphony Orchestra, which celebrated its 125th anniversary in December 2012, is known for trailblazing performances, visionary maestros, collaborations with the world’s foremost musical artists, and an unwavering commitment to Detroit. Esteemed conductor Leonard Slatkin, called “America’s Music Director” by the Los Angeles Times, became the twelfth Music Director of the DSO during the 2008-09 season and acclaimed conductor, arranger, and trumpeter Jeff Tyzik was appointed Principal Pops Conductor in November 2012. The DSO’s performance schedule includes Classical, Pops, Jazz, Young People’s, Neighborhood concerts, and collaborations with chart-topping musicians from Smokey Robinson to Kid Rock.

A commitment to broadcast innovation began in 1922 when the DSO became the first orchestra in the world to present a radio broadcast and continues today with the free Live from Orchestra Hall webcast series. Making its home at historic Orchestra Hall at the Max M. Fisher Music Center, one of America’s most acoustically perfect concert halls, the DSO actively pursues a mission to impact and serve the community through music.
