As good an introduction to the music of Morton Gould as you will find, and some unexpected masterpieces too
Althoug he was something like a late starter with them ("Soundings" and "Columbia" were the first recordings of his works made by the orchestra, in 1971), Morton Gould must have been one of the favored composers of the Louisville Orchestra: All in all, between 1971 and ...

Copland: Appalachian Spring; Gould: Fall River Legend

Aaron Copland, Morton Gould, ...

RCA, 1993

Beautiful
I always have thought that Copland's The Tender Land is probably one of the hidden treasures in American classical music. It's a beautiful piece of music, especially Acts 1&3. You will not be disappointed in this from one of America's most beloved composers.

Louis Moreau Gottschalk: A Night in the Tropics

Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Morton Gould, ...

Vanguard Classics, 1995

Wonderful - Relaxing
this Montavoni CD is technically well above average. The music is relaxing and warm. if anyone is so inclined, it's even "danceable." Pricing is excellent. Well worth the time and energy.
