Fanfare for the Common Man,...best recording in your experience?


Like you, I have favorite music and favorite recordings of that music.  I would appreciate your experience with what you have known to be the best recording of Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man".  I am interested in both the sound quality and performance.   Thanks.

I'll second the Reference Recordings for sonics and for the Symphony #3, where you'll get to hear the fanfare (slightly altered) again in the fourth movement.  Nice thing about this one is that it's also available on high quality vinyl.  There's also another Telarc recording on CD by Levi and the Atlanta Symphony (again with Symphony #3), recorded well after the Lane version, which I also can recommend, if you can find it.
