Thanks to Mark and others:
It was indeed the "Sallie Chisum Remembers Billy the Kid"
Bonney/Previn recording that I was remembering..
I might just add that I think it's a beautiful recording - especially
of the Copland. Barbara Bonney sings it with a lovely clear tone and
doesn't go overboard trying to "dramatise" the songs, but lets them
speak for themselves - which I think the combination of Dickinson's
poems and Copland's music does admirably. The piano accompaniment is
just right and doesn't overpower the voice in the way that a
orchestral accompaniment might.
Thanks again to all who rescued my fading memory!
Emily
