Two faces of America
★★★/★★★★ The London Symphony Orchestra has long considered itself half-American. With Andre Previn and Michael Tilson Thomas as principal conductors and Leonard Bernstein dropping by on a regular basis, the LSO changed accent to mid-Atlantic and turned on the Broadway style at the drop of a hat. Under Antonio Pappano who, though born in London, was raised in the US, the LSO give a satisfying, idiomatic performance of Aaron Copland’s third symphony.

Still does, apparently. Under Antonio Pappano who, though born in London, was raised in the US, the LSO give a satisfying, idiomatic performance of Aaron Copland’s third symphony. Rippling with mid-western tunes and end-of-war optimism, it once seemed like a gateway to the Great American Symphony of the future. Nowadays, post-minimalism, nobody looks for national revelation and Copland’s third just sounds naïve, midway between anthropology and jingoism.
