The recordings featuring the Chicago Symphony and Amsterdam Concertgebouw orchestras date from 1981 to 1989; those with the San Francisco Symphony from 1999. Gramophone called the disc containing Three Places in New England with the San Francisco Symphony “as fine a collection of [Ives’s] songs and short orchestral pieces as I’ve found on one release”. Also from Gramophone: “A stellar performance of the Fourth [Symphony with the Chicago orchestra]. Not only are all the elements in place – no easy feat in itself – but the performance revels in the piece’s American roots, with marches and ragtime passages tossed off with as much apparent simplicity as the piece’s modernist language” and “Tilson Thomas moves through his seasonal year [the “New England Holidays”] with fine flourish that balances the musical fireworks of ‘The Fourth of July’ and the sombre moments of ‘Decoration Day’. [He] is blessed with Chicago’s legendary brass section … and the CSO Chorus under [Margaret] Hillis – about as unapologetically American in their musicality as a conductor could find.” And the Penguin Guide called this last disc “among the most impressive Ives records in the catalogue”.CD 1Symphony No. 1Hymns (quoted by Charles Ives in his Symphony No. 4)Symphony No. 4Chicago Symphony Orchestra & ChorusCD 2Symphony No. 2Symphony No. 3 “The Camp Meeting”Orchestral Set No. 2Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra & ChorusCD 3A Symphony: New England HolidaysThe Unanswered Question (rev.)Central Park in the DarkThe Unanswered Question (orig.)Chicago Symphony Orchestra & ChorusCD 4From the Steeples and the MountainsThe Things Our Fathers LovedThe Pond · Memories · Charlie RutlageThe Circus Band · Orchestral Set No. 1:Three Places in New EnglandIn Flanders Fields · They Are There!Tom Sails Away · Symphony No. 4 (Mvt.
