Search - Melbourne Symphony Orchestra :: Ives: Orchestral Works, Vol. 1

This is the first volume of a new series dedicated to the music of Charles Ives, performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and its principal conductor Sir Andrew Davis. An amateur genius of avant-garde composing who experimented with groundbreaking techniques years ahead of their time, the American composer started out with more conventional works as shown by the two early symphonies recorded here. Exclusive to Chandos, Sir Andrew Davis is the conductor in many of Chandos best-selling recordings and has already recorded two highly praised albums with the Melbourne Symphony.
