Just a reminder that apparently Naxos finally has gotten around to releasing the 1986-87 Continuum recording "Charles Ives the Visionary" (Naxos 8.559194)....
Sez here that Scott finds the movement "anti-climactic" and not very good. Hope he is talking about the composition and not my editing! However, the old...
I got a copy of this CD in the mail. I also looked over J.R.'s score years ago at Peer's request. It's much truer than Austin's but it would be a lot better...
When I finished an engraving of the Earth Music for Section A and the Coda (Coda for the whole sectional movement), the two most tangible and completre...
... of this? Mine dates back to 1971 and seems to be merely a transcription of the manuscript, which in this case doesn't begin to be adequate enough. No...
I've heard the Adams/EM recording and agree, it IS excellent. (Made me think of a scenario of Ives at the piano with Paul White's orchestra.) All I have is a...
I am looking to invest in the Preludes (I and II) by Debussy and I cannot decide which recording to buy - Gieseking, Zimerman, Jacobs, Michelangeli..... ...
Frankie, I've heard Michelangeli and Jacobs. I'd probably go with Jacobs if I had to pick one of 'em. (IMHO, Michelangeli sounds best in the Images.) He...
After a long break from Ives' music (and a complete immersion in the music of jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson), I've been listening to a some Ives ...
Must in the end be down to individual taste as each of these great pianists gives their own distinctive reading - for me it is Zimerman who best provides the...
Frankie, I haven't heard Zimmermann's so I can't comment on that, but each of the others you've listed are quite different from one another in both approach...
Ah, I knew there wasn't going to be an easy answer : ), but thanks to all who gave me some insight and recommendations. I was in Barnes and Nobel today and I...
... No, but thanks for the tip, Scott. I need to get back on the Ives train meself. It's been (probably) too long. When the weather finally warms up, I am sure...
... I don't know any of those, but I would go for the Casadesus. I base that on a recording I had years ago of two Mozart concertos which I loved(and Casadesus...
Frankie, To my ears, Haitink's Debussy is overrated. Too pedestrian. Not luminous enough. (I've never heard Dutoit's.) My faves for this music are Martinon...
At some point Kalmus issued a pocket score of the Concord Sonata. I'm not sure if it was ever offered for sale in the US. Does anyone know if their score is a...
If you want to hear what may be the only orchestra that still has a French sound in it ears in modern sound, then The Montreal Symphony with Dutoit would be my...
... Penguin gave the Dutoit the highest recommendation (obviously taken with a large grain of salt here). But there must be something intriguing about the ...
Well, I have my copy in my hand as I write this. It certainly was on sale in US as that's where I got mine at cost $1.20 in 1974.......problem for me is: I'm...
Scott, Ormandy's "3 Places" onn Columbia is one of the few Ives LPs I never got my hands on but I had heard it back in the '70s and wish now I'd bought it...
Thanks for the information Tony. The reason I assumed it might not have been available here was that I had never seen over the years and I couldn't find it...
I think it was Boosey and Hawkes who put out a reprint of Ives's 1921 edition (and I'm pretty sure that was the year it actually came out), but Kalmus may have...
You're welcome. Frank Camiola <fcamiola@...> wrote:> If you want to hear what may be the only orchestra that still has a French ... Thanks for the heads...
Dr. P. The Ormandy "3 Pieces" is still available - on a British Sony reissue that also includes the Juilliard Qt's recording of the two quartets. SBK87967. I...
... Yes..It is shown as "original version" and runs 1:23. The rest of the numbers on the recording are: The Housatonic at Stockbridge (3:19) Soliloquy, or a...
That's great! For everyone's general info, the first version is for piano quintet -- Ives made the later version by orchestrating the string parts (I think...
