Hello, I was wondering if there was enough interest "out there" to start a discussion group dedicated to the composer Charles Ives. So I just created this...
Well, I guess somebody has to start making replies, so here I go. I first learned about Ives from Aaron Copland's book "Our New Music". My first contact was a...
It's good to see this group going, and I hope it becomes very active. As I am not a quiet sort and a teacher by trade, I don't mind starting a little thread. I...
Tom, I agree with you that Ormandy's "Holidays Sym." is terrific. His RCA studio recording has never been released on CD, but it's really wonderful. The...
Hi Scott and All, This is like I really have time for ANOTHER Yahoo Group--but I couldn't resist. I love Ives. My first contact with Ives was back around 1965...
Please don't hold me to infallable memory--but I do recall attending an Ormandy concert here in Columbus back in about 1968. I wish I had some easy way of...
It looks like the next big opportunity to gorge on Ives played live is New York City, May 2004. The Philharmonic calls it "Charles Ives -- An American...
Hi guys (and gals?) My name is Frankie and I have recently converted myself into an Ives fanatic! I am now convinced that this guy was not only one of the...
Frankie, I haven't heard it yet. But I plan on picking it up. James Sinclair heard the performers at a concert in Texas, and recommended them to Naxos. So I...
Quart, I'm not familiar with Gilbert at all, but I'm hoping to make a trip up to NYC to hear it regardless. When I heard MTT conduct the Fourth last year, I...
From The Times, June 2003. CBSO/Oramo Birmingham Symphony Hall "......After the interval we changed worlds. For Ives America's pioneering spirit, its hymns,...
the selling of the Ives music idea- It isn't just a case of too many ladybirds and do-it-proper boys running the music establishment. Americans have yet to...
Quarto- I certainly agree with what you are saying regarding Ives not into the whole self-promotion/publicity thing, but honestly, what has that really got to...
What can I salvage of my topic? I don't expect total absorption of Ives and all his works; I just think that a few bits ought to be acknowledged as abiding...
It is too bad that Ives had a low opinion of his Three-page Sonata and basically forgot about it. It's a sizzling little gem. Those pianists that first...
... I tried posting my reply before and it didn't show up. Perhaps that was because I was not a member of the group. Forgive me if it shows up and I'm...
... Well, Copland had to work for a living for many years. He had a great skill at delivering what the customer wanted. That the works are easy to play and...
Thank you, Christian, for your reply to my topic of Ives popularity. I read less opportunism in the Copland compositional chronology. Copland wrote his jazzy...

Hello All, I just stumbled across something interesting on the net. Apparently, French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard will be recording CEI's Concord Sonata....
Hello, In terms of popularity or acceptance, don't you think that (as of TODAY) Ives' music is pretty much in the same boat as other post- Romantic composers?...
Wow ! This will be an event ! Aimard is one of the finest pianists on the scene, also a performer appreciative of "new" music. Recfently I was listening to...
Interesting piece in a UK paper on Elliot Carter and his latest premiere, aged 95. http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/features/story.jsp?story=4325 87 ...
Thank you, Anne. this URL probably should be ---> http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/features/story.jsp? story=432587 Prom 35, Royal Albert Hall, London...
I'm not much into piano music. I've been avoiding getting the "Concord Sonata" for more than thirty years! It's time. BUT, I have no clue about pianists....
Gil Kalish's recording of the "Concord Sonata" is by far the best. Bob Summers ... _________________________________________________________________ Protect...
