A 75th Birthday Celebration: Aaron Copland Conducts

Album by Aaron Copland & London Symphony Orchestra & Philharmonia Orchestra

A 75th Birthday Celebration: Aaron Copland Conducts is a live album by American composer and conductor Aaron Copland, released in 1975. The recording features orchestral pieces in Copland's mid-20th-century American classical idiom — with open harmonies, folk‑influenced gestures and transparent orchestral textures — and functions as a late-career document of his conducting and repertoire choices.
