HutchFan Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Charles Ives: Fourth Symphony; Robert Browning Overture; Orchestral Songs / Stokowski, American SO, et al (Columbia) as heard in this set ... At the end of the day, Stoki's reading of Ives' Fourth Symphony lacks so many of the details and refinements that MTT illuminates in the work. Even so, there's something very special about Stoki's recording. He believes in the music, in Ives. You can hear it.

This, and a number of Ives pieces, can absorb different approaches. I also have the 4th by Serebrier.

(I haven't heard his more recent live cycle on RCA.) IMO, he's at his best in the early- and middle-period sonatas. I think of him as a "down-the-middle"-type interpreter (like Brendel, maybe?) -- but with a lyrical streak. His lyricism and sense of time are what initially caught my ear.

"down-the-middle" hits the spot of my sentiment .... still quite an achievement to play the music this way at all, but not my favorite approach .....

I also have the 4th by Serebrier. John Adam’s conducting Germany’s ‘Ensemble Modern’ (Ives 4) is my go-to recording, fwiw. It’s an expanded orchestra-size group, and not the typically smaller chamber-size Ensemble Modern config (but the EM is at its core). A bit tricky to find on CD (I ordered mine directly from the EM website 15+ years ago), but there are download options available - though be careful, I understand some download sites only have like 15-seconds(!) of the second movement (and the free streaming version on YouTube is the same). The CD version (which I have) is just 30 minutes long - but was worth every single penny (imho). https://www.discogs.com/Charles-Ives-Fourth-Symphony/release/8369773 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
