Charles Ives: Radical in a Suit and Tie: Premiere Recording  (Él/Cherry Red)

All three of these premieres are very strong, idiomatic performances.  Especially Masselos' reading of Ives' First Piano Sonata, which remains among the finest ever (imo). 

 

Excellent 👌👍 ....

I have Rattle's also.  But Ozawa's version flogs that one thoroughly. 

Among the three that you have, do you have a preferred version, @Chuck Nessa?

Haven't listened in a while, but probably Ozawa 'cause that's the first I heard back circa 1970.

First time I've heard these compositions or this pianist.  Very impressed, so far.

Listening to this disc, two things become clear:  One, Tintner is an exceptional conductor of Bruckner's music, especially with regards to pacing. Two, the Royal Scottish NO is a REALLY good orchestra.  Such gorgeous sounds!
