4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this one for Lincoln Portrait, November 14, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Orchestral Works (Audio CD)
Leonard Bernstein is still the one to look for on Rodeo, but unfortunately, he never made a recording of Lincoln Portrait, which came as a shock to me, since he was probably the greatest interpreter of Copland's music. Fortunately, I found this recording with the great statesman Adlai Stevenson giving an emotional reading accompanied by the great Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy. If you're looking for Lincoln Portrait, this is the CD to look for. Look to Bernstein for Rodeo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best performance of Lincon Portrait on record, October 10, 2008
By 
Robert Levine (Milwaukee WI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Orchestral Works (Audio CD)
This is probably the best performance of the Copland "Lincoln Portrait" available on recordings. Stevenson reads Lincoln's wonderful prose with both dignity and intensity, and Ormandy's pacing (and the solo wind and brass playing of the Philadelphia Orchestra musicians) is impeccable, capturing completely the melancholy and darkness of the opening without being bombastic in the more overtly patriotic passages.

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought it for the "Lincoln Portrait", December 29, 2007
This review is from: Orchestral Works (Audio CD)
In my mind there is only one conductor who "owns" the music of Aaron Copland and that is Leonard Bernstein. However, since, Maestro Bernstein never redorded (as far as I know) Copland's "Lincoln Portrait", I would suggest this recording by the outstanding Eugene Ormandy with Senator Adlai Stevenson as narrator. It's a quite passionate homage to our most beloved president.

Comparison for Lincoln Portrait: William Warfield/David Effron/Eastman Phil. Orch (Also very good but out of print and only ever released on LP)
