	Classical Net Review - Copland - Ballet Music
		Unlike most conductors, Zinman presents both of Copland's colorful western ballets in their complete, original editions, and it is heartwarming to hear them in such thoroughly committed and refreshing performances.
		Century ballets (Stravinsky's Firebird and Ravel's Daphnis come immediately to mind), and the brief transitions between the familiar numbers are all quite interesting - or so it seems thanks to Zinman's attentive and sympathetic treatment.
		The Baltimore Symphony plays at least as well as the St. Louis Symphony did in their EMI recording of these two ballets, but Zinman's interpretations are considerably more exciting, colorful, and coherent than Slatkin's.
