Aaron Copland made numerous recordings of his own music, including an extensive series for CBS during the 1960s and '70s, mostly with London orchestras. He was not an especially proficient conductor--consequently, the performances he conducted often lacked pace and rhythmic punch. His last recordings of his most popular scores have been reissued by Sony on an exceptionally well-remastered 3-CD set. These accounts do a good job of conveying the overall shape of the pieces, and they deliver telling characterizations of many episodes. Details emerge that are lost in some other accounts, and there is an appealing gentleness and sweetness to the approach. But the readings do not have as much grip as those of Bernstein and Slatkin, among others, and in spite of the authority they automatically possess, they are not necessarily preferable. --Ted Libbey

Enjoy the relaxing "clickety-clack" sounds of riding a train in a vintage 1940's sleeping car over the bolted railroad track of yesteryear. This is not a collection of individual train sound effects or music, but a continuous hour-long soundtrack aboard a real train especially recorded to capture the relaxing experience of passenger train travel. The conductor calls "All aboard" and the porter pulls up the steps and closes the vestibule door. There's a "toot" from the horn as the train eases out of the station.The faint sound of the locomotive's horn blows for railroad crossings with the occasional "ding-ding" of crossing signals as you roll by city streets. The faint sounding of the horn and crossing bells become less frequent as the train accelerates into the desert. If you find yourself dozing off as you listen, the gradual 10-minute fade at the end won't startle you awake. Recorded by Hollywood sound designer and avid rail-fan Ken J. Johnson with state-of-the-art equipment.

Includes the episodes "Thomas to the Rescue," "Henry and the Wishing Tree," "Squeak, Rattle and Roll," and "Percy's New Whistle." 38 min. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English; games.

(VHS Video) For years The New Haven called itself "The Aristocrat of New England Transportation". While this slogan pampered its Boston Brahmin and Wall Street commuting clientele, it hardly defined the NYNH&H. A Great Railroad at Work, sponsored by the New Haven in 1942, shows the railroad as a brawny, fleet footed freight and passenger system that combined class with clockwork service. It also had the most diverse roster of equipment of any railroad in the United States and probably the world: electric locomotives, steamers, buses, trolleys, self-powered MU cars, plus tugs, barges and ferries. The 355 mm black and white images are as sharp today in this video as they were when the film was first shown in theatres and to community audiences 50 years ago. See archival views of the legendary passenger express "The Yankee Clipper", driven by an elegantly liveried 4-6-4 Hudson; New Haven's high speed electric and steam corridors; Park Avenue Viaduct, one of the great feats of railroad engineering, and Grand Central, the grandest terminal of them all. And much, much more.

Sometimes lively, sometimes pokey, this Technicolor MGM musical inspires mixed feelings in aficionados of the form--except on one point. No viewer will question why "On the Atchison, Topeka, & the Santa Fe" won the best song Oscar for 1946. This is a brilliant, inventive song given an epic staging. Director George Sidney pulls out all the stops for this wowser--even Marjorie Main sings, an eardrum-testing sound. The real-life Harvey Girls were waitresses imported to the far-flung Fred Harvey Hotels, civilizing oases along the railroad lines out west. The fictional Harvey Girls is set in Sandrock, where the traveling waitresses are joined by a sort of mail-order bride (Judy Garland) whose prospective husband is a bust--he's a roughhewn rancher played by Chill Wills. Garland is in fine spunky form; unfortunately, her romance is with John Hodiak (as the owner of a dance hall), that uninspiring World War II-era lead. The film's other great Johnny Mercer-Harry Warren song is the unexpectedly melancholy "It's a Great Big World," performed in a lovely trio by Garland, Virginia O'Brien, and the young Cyd Charisse. The tall, deadpan O'Brien also does a comic take on "The Wild, Wild West" while shoeing a horse. With kewpie-faced Angela Lansbury as a bespangled dance-hall gal and Ray Bolger high-stepping through a dance solo, there are enough good people on board to keep the wheels a-turning "all the way to Californ-eye-yay." --Robert Horton

Jiri Menzel's funny, tragic 1966 film, set during the years of Germany's occupation of Czechoslovakia, may be admired today more out of nostalgia than anything, but in fact it holds up very well as a wry satire from the years of the Czech New Wave. Vaclav Neckar stars as an unambitious youth whose chief preoccupation is a wish for sex, but who secondarily sees the draw of joining the organized Resistance movement. The latter, however, would require energy and focus, and Neckar's character--who does as little work as possible as an apprentice railway platform guard--prefers the inertia of his small-town depot. Spending his time observing the philandering of an older guard, keeping clear of his wild-eyed boss, and flirting with the female conductor of a passing train, the young hero has his priorities in order but must deal with an increasing responsibility to a larger rebellion. The film has a nice mix of rural lethargy, surreal hints, and comic knowingness about the landscape of teenage ambivalence. Finally, there is something else: the shock of a confrontation between dreams and real-world obligation, particularly in a world gone mad through no fault of one's own. --Tom Keogh
