excerpt from Southern Harmony, Naxos 2009
El Salón México is owned and protected by the Copland Estate. Permission was given for this arrangement to be written, performed, and recorded, but not published. As a result, it remains unpublished. For any related questions, please contact me.
“All the transcriptions are excellent. The Copland is not only very idiomatic—the original has plenty of wind and percussion emphasis already—but receives what is probably the best performance on the disc.” —Benn Martin, MusicWeb International |
