Keep your eyes open for the June issue of BBC Music Magazine. Apparently, Ives is going to be the "Composer of the Month." I haven't seen the issue yet. But...
... Thanks for the advance tip, Scott. I found a site offering sale of single issues of U.K. mags at: http://www.magsnmore.com/current_british_magazines.htm ...
No, cover CD is going to be of the Ives antithesis: Richard Strauss! And anyway, about time CEI featured as c-o-t-m after the BBc mag. has been going for more...
Bob (and others), I remember you mentioning something about ordering Gielen's Mahler 1 disc coupled with "Central Park in the Dark" and "The Unanswered...
Nice to know you enjoyed it, Scott ! :) You should also mention it's a LIVE performance, which means no edits, no splices of different takes, etc, etc. So far,...
... Gielen's Mahler 1 disc coupled with "Central Park in the Dark" and "The Unanswered Question"? Did you get the disc? Any thoughts on the performances? ...
... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you use this link: http://snipurl.com/65iw you'll see the comments I left (in 2 or 3 successive posts) regarding the concert. I...
Haven't seen anything of Gielen/Ives lately in the UK either........However, what I heard of his in the 80's was pretty pretty mediocre and not at all...
... the woolly homespun Yankee jingoistic version of yore... It's interesting to me how perceptions of Ives and his music have changed over time. I didn't...
Makes complete sense to me, Scott, and I think this was how Ives' music came to be appreciated over on this side of the millpond even from the early 60's when...
Do we need to look closely at those spiritual models that formed Ives philosophically? George Ives, RW Emerson, HD Thoreau, Harmony. He began to learn to look...
... Good thinking Quart. We can also look at Ives' very own writings--especially the "Essays Before a Sonata." Here's one of my favorite passages from the...
Here's another recently-released disc that I just stumbled across tonight. CATALOGUE NR: 8559127 RECORD LABEL: Naxos RELEASE DATE: 03-May-2004 COMPOSER:...
Scott, according to Amazon, it will be available there on May 11: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001HZ6MO/ I've already put in my order. :-) Bob ... ...
I just listened to this at the Naxos site and I was more than pleased. This recording is quite different from Lubimov's, but I really enjoyed it. The Alcott's...
... York Philharmonic was drawing to a close, Gustav Mahler requested a score of the Symphony No. 3 of a then-obscure insurance salesman named Charles Ives. At...
Well, the June Beeb mag. has just flopped on to my doormat........In addition to the Ives feature as comp. of the month (only about 11 years or 130-odd issues...
In today's NY Times there's a couple articles about Ives-- anticipating the upcoming NYPO mini-fest. This is a link to the article listing the Times' critics'...
Honestly Bob - I am not an expert Ives historian, so I guess I just accepted that tale. But if you have talked to Sinclair and he thinks that it is BS, then...
... Frankie, all three works are with Gielen's "usual" band, the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg. The Mahler 1 was recorded in the Freiburg...
... just accepted that tale. But if you have talked to Sinclair and he thinks that it is BS, then that is probably good enough reason for me. But does anybody...
There is no doubt that Aimard's Concord is going to give us all a good 'ole fashioned ass-whoopin', but has anybody listened to the new Naxos Ives CD with...
As with most Naxos artists, Mayer is not front rank. He's American and specialises in American repertoire. I haven't heard his work, but Pierre Laurent...
I sit down - dazed - having just now heard Thoreau in this recording broadcast by BBC (& how encouraging that so many Brit listeners chose it for this...
... Naxos nuts? Quite possible ;) They definitely do things differently. But like I've said before, I have found some merit in this recording based on the two...
