Seventy-five dollars!?!!?
David Gray Porter | Anaheim, California | 12/15/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've learned that EMI has reissued this CD along with the Ives songs recorded by Marni Nixon from the old Nonesuch LP (a truly GREAT album!). It's now titled "American Classics: Charles Ives." You can find it at [...] at: http://www.amazon.co.uk/American-Classics-Charles-Ensemble-Modern/dp/B0016MJ3NQ/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1213893555&sr=1-19



I originally wrote on December 15, 2005:



This is a great album, and it's too bad it was allowed to go out-of-print, but asking $[...] as one seller does is mind-blowing. Reminds me of the controversy in 1993 when it was almost pulled off the market through a lawsuit because no one "official" knew who this guy "David G. Porter" was and that as far as they knew he has no authorization to do any work whatsoever on Ives's music. EMI had the spine to keep it on the market but it looks like someone decided it wasn't selling well enough to reprint. My advice is to find a friend's copy and burn a boot of it, and scan the booklet for my program notes in your favorite language. Truly a great CD but that's too much to ask."
