BaL 28.12.24 - Copland: Rodeo

I have that on BluRay audio and it’s the complete ballet. As mentioned above I can live without the extra material, but that is curious

Dug out the Blu Ray of Slatkin/Detroit. It has 5 Dance Numbers. I haven’t listened to it yet, but probably faulty memory led me to believe that some of the Dance Elisha’s padding that isn’t in the Bernstein recording (and others).

and after listening to it there is definitely material, particularly in Hoe Down , that isn’t in the other recordings that I know. It’s utterly forgettable stuff

Something accessible and interesting at last. .last few weeks BAL selections have been pieces I find a big yawn ..Yes that opinion I know
