The composition is deeply moving. Love how animated the conductor was. He really captured the emotion of the piece. The oratory was superb. What year as this recorded?

Yes, a classic Copland composition. The composer researched a number of American folk and cowboy songs from Lincoln's era, incorporating snippets of those melodies into this unique work, to give it a flavor of the time and place. (A good model for film composers writing for a "period piece" and there is no problem with copyright, since such tunes are usually Public Domain!)
Not sure about the recording date of the live performance.
