Thank you so much! It's unforgivable that her name is not mentioned anywhere. Not in the credits nor in the video description. She is such a knowledgeable, charming and intelligent lady.
Copland’s score for the film “ The North Star “ is a true masterwork. The quintessential “ American “ composer managed to capture the spirit of Ukrainian folk music. Astonishing achievement!
This long, tedious interview must have been exhausting for Copand. He tried to answer every silly question. He's a true American hero. I heard Copland conducting Copland in Portland, OR, back in 1974 or 75. It's so funny that the music of Appalachian Spring in intention had nothing to do with Appalachia. The ballet itself is powerful in movement but grotesque.
@@Twentythousandlps I've been interviewed many, many times and the best ones were from honest but hostile reporters. They always asked the best questions. Soft-ball questions from friendlies were difficult because they never gave me anything to hit against.
I was shocked by the direction of the questions, and the understanding or lack of same with regard to the art of composing, considering the creds of the interviewer.
Sehr interessant zuhören einen der größten Amerikanischen Komponisten Aaron Copland. Schade nur das diese hoch intellektuelle Lady spricht viel zu viel in diesem Interview.
I love his music. His music is the true identity of the American spirit. ❤ Rest in peace master Copland.
The interviewer is Vivian Perlis, who collaborated on Copland's memoirs.

She's a sound scholar who knows her subject well and is a more satisfying writer than an interviewer.
Great Interview with an even greater person!
I agree
Aaron Copland s compositions became the authentic sound of the America s frontier. When hearing them you knew immediately what they were depicting
“Music is about itself.” Leonard Bernstein
He was a good writer too, Get his book What to Listen for in Music. Classic.
Love Copland. He IS America.

Copland worked with Perlis for years and selected her for the interview.
@@Twentythousandlps She had no curiosity.
I guess Copland was incapable of selecting a suitable interviewer, according to you.
@@Twentythousandlps He probably got what he wanted at the time.

Does anyone know what year this interview was conducted?
Archimusik: 1979.
year?

I think Brahms said that a piece of music has to be logical and well developed before it can be beautiful.
A terrible interview, but Aaron Copland knows how to be charming , gracious, and informative at all times!

Stupid opening remark! The “sunny side” of 80! She might as well have said, “It’s all downhill from here, Aaron!”
It kinda is… says this aging bs y boomer… lol
Terrible interview, but he handles it graciously.
She talks too much!
Dreadful interview.
