Hi all This is just a short posting to introduce myself to the group. I am not in any way an expert on Ives or any composer. Indeed I admit that the first time...
The Naxos second Sinclair CD is on amazon.com and available in the states. Notice that our member super-reviewer Bob Zeidler has included his own evaluation. ...
Welcome Gerry It's always nice to see new Ives converts. Yes, I agree 100% with you, the Naxos CD (with Sym. 3) is oustanding and one of my favorite Ives CD's....
Thanks Jon and Frankie for your warm welcome to the group. I have stumbled
across Scott's site and look forward to visiting and revisiting often. I am
looking...

Hi, Gerry! Let me add my welcome to the others already here (and blush at the favorable mention of one of my Amazon.com reviews). I did a double-take when I...
I know that Scott (and surely others) are high on the Fulkerson/Shannon performances of these (on two Bridge CDs). And many years ago, the Druian/Simms LPs (on...
Just wanted to let you guys know that my buddy Tim and I have created a new yahoo group called modernclassical (actually it was his idea - I just went along...
I just stumbled across a review of a disc that includes the first recordings of Ives' music that were ever released commercially. If I remember correctly,...
I'm still working on getting all of Gregg Smith Singers' oop Columbia LPs of Ives' choral music transfered to CD. Looks like I might have someone who can do...
That Ionization CD looks very interesting. You have guessed my mind on this exactly. I thoroughly enjoy rereading PERFECT PITCH again and again to this day....
In a message dated 1/14/2004 12:51:08 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... There is a live Ormandy\Philadelphia performance kicking around the underground, this from...
Hopefully I'm not duplicating anyone else's work. Both of the Symposium CDs which have Varèse and Ives works conducted by Nic Slonimsky can be ordered from...
Well, I trekked into NYC today via LIRR to pick up the free Ives tickets, only to be disappointed to learn that the show on the 30th (Ives 4) is sold out. They...
Last night my wife Jen and I went to the first show of the Focus 2004 series at Julliard featuring the music of Charles Ives. The hall was pretty filled to...
I just got finished listening to the "Trio for Violin, Cello, and Piano" on the 'Made In America' disc. I will go right out and say it - this is one of the...
Frankie, I TOTALLY agree with you. I think that the Trio is definitely one of Ives' greatest works. And you're right: the final movement is the best, a ...
... NYPO ... No problem Scott - my pleasure. I was planning on going tomorrow night as well to see the Concord, but with this heavy snow storm and all, it may...
I am wondering if anyone can help me. Is there anyone who knows if Ives's music was recorded in (going on information I have founs so far) about the 1930s on...
{big snip} It was titled simply "Sonata No. 4 for Violin and Piano" (I think it was 4) and it was spread over several 78s. ... This was most likely the...
BTW, if the Ives violin sonatas have caught your fancy (and, as a somewhat experienced Ivesian, I've come to think that these four works are as good a place as...
I went to all six of them. They were all free, and I never again expect to be able to hear so much Charles Ives music in such a short time, and played so well....

Thankyou! I'm not necessarily on the lookout for that exact same (scratchy) recording! Naxos sounds good enough to me. It will be great to re- acquant myself...
Does anyone have the Gregg Smith Singers recording, "New Music Of Charles Ives"? It's out-of-print; Gregg himself emailed me & told me Sony needs to get off...
Annie, I've got it. I'd be glad to make you a cassette tape of it. Contact me privately if that works for you. I'm also hoping to make a compilation of all of...
