== Recordings == The first recording of ''Appalachian Spring'' was of the orchestral suite: the 1945 premiere of the suite by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra was recorded and reissued in 1999. The ballet for full orchestra was first recorded by the [[Philadelphia Orchestra]] in 1954, and [[Columbia Records]] released it four years later. The first recording of the original ballet was made in 1990 by Andrew Schenck and Hugh Wolff.<ref name=":4" /> In 1958, a film of the ballet was made with Graham in the lead role and [[Stuart Hodes]] dancing the Husbandman. The film was financed by [[WQED (TV)|WQED]], who had already produced one successful Graham film. Nathan Kroll, a musician who had a good understanding of the score, directed the film and consulted Louis Horst (the conductor of the premiere) to ensure the music was just as Copland wanted.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=Delapp-Birkett |first=Jennifer |date=August 29, 2022 |title=Midday Thoughts: Which ''Appalachian Spring''?
