After always enjoying his work on the classical music station I listen to while driving, I finally got around to buying an Aaron Copland. The music should be instantly recognizable and it's quite accessible to classical newcomers (of which I still am). I'm not sure if these are the best interpretations of Copland's music, but the dynamics on this CD are exceptional. The opening drums on "Fanfare for the Common Man" will knock you down if you are not prepared.
