COPLAND: SYMPHONY FOR ORGAN AND ORCHESTRA (Columbia). Brooklyn-born Aaron Copland was finishing his composition studies in Paris in 1924 when he wrote this big, loose-jointed work, first cousin to a concerto. The organ does not contrast with the orchestra but stirs it up and then masses forces with it. Considered shocking at the time ("If a young man at the age of 23 can write a symphony like that, in five years he will be ready to commit murder!" declared Con ductor Walter Damroseh), the work has never been recorded until now.

"Not since the days of Aaron Burr has the country been treated to such an example of unbridled personal ambition." Just as incensed was Liberal Columnist Murray Kempton of the New York Post.

It includes such cornerstone composers as the French mystic Olivier Messiaen and American Serialist Statesman Milton Babbitt, plus a smattering of tiny, wispy recent Stravinsky pieces, as well as chamber works by Aaron Copland, some recently discovered early pieces by Anton Webern, performed by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra...
