Chuck Nessa Posted November 12 Report Posted November 12 This arrived early evening, so it is ready for the morning. Interesting to compare it to the vinyl set from 50 years back. Quote

The two sacred pieces are not on the same level as J.S. Bach's pieces. If you are deeply into 18th century mid-German baroque church music, pretty much indispensable, if not, consider. Quote

I would say that Ives occupies a very UNIQUE place in American musical culture -- because some regard him as one of the most important (perhaps THE most important) "classical composer" that America has ever produced -- while others regard him as something of a crank, an amateur who specialized in outrageous effects. I suppose it's obvious that I align with the former rather than the latter. If you haven't seen it, you might want to explore the site that I built in Ives' honor. It's quite old now; I haven't touched it in nearly 20 years. But most of the information is still relevant. https://www.musicweb-international.com/ives/ Exploring the site will give you a better sense of why I hold Ives' music in such high regard. Quote

Thank you for your time ... could be one of those composers that aren't popular but did compose with integrity. I have to listen to more of his stuff to form an image. Quote
