Description: Copland's stirring tribute to rural America and the bullish spirit of its settlers kicks off the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's only New York appearance this season. Two powerful works for chorus and soloists follow: Bernstein's tuneful Chichester Psalms, which echo the rhythmic freshness of West Side Story, and Walton's oratorio about the fall of a Babylonian king. There's no one better to lead all this than Robert Spano, who captures the drama in everything he conducts.
