Experience the unique fusion of digital technology and classical composition with Trammell Starks' "A Copland Portrait." Released in 1992 under the Pro-Arte label, this CD features a compelling interpretation of Aaron Copland's masterpieces, performed and produced by Trammell Starks himself. The album showcases four beautifully rendered tracks including "Appalachian Spring," "Our Town Suite," "Fanfare for the Common Man," and "The Promise of Living" from "The Tender Land."
Utilizing innovative instrumentation such as the Akai S-1000 Sampler, E-mu Proteus II, Korg 01-W, Kurzweil K-2000, and Roland D-550, combined with sequencing software for Macintosh, Starks delivers a fresh and dynamic soundscape. This edition is noted for its digital surround sound mix by Gary Rice and distinctive cover art by Daniel M. Wright, making it a perfect addition for collectors and fans of jazz-infused classical music. Manufactured by Intersound Inc. in Roswell, Georgia, this CD remains an exceptional tribute to Copland's legacy.
