5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have CD, November 13, 2000

This review is from: American Portraits-The American Music Sampler (Audio CD)

This is a must-have album. Why is this not available? You have Copland, Ives, Gould, Herrmann, Moross and others. These are great American composers. I have never seen such a well rounded and representive body of works from so many great Americans. Go out and find a copy of this one. It's great!
