Ives: Piano Sonata No. 2, "Concord"
The Second Piano Sonata, Ives’s most expansive work for the instrument, was, according to the composer, “an attempt to present [one person’s] impression of the spirit of transcendentalism that is associated in the minds of many with Concord, Mass.,” of the mid 19th century. Gilbert Kalish performs the landmark work here; his intimate understanding of the piece led the Boston Globe to declare that he “quite simply owns this music.”

Ives: Songs
Charles Ives wrote about 180 songs from 1887 to 1918, still only a small fraction of his prodigious output. These songs draw upon a diversity of inspirations, reflecting Ives’s wide interests and his fascination with ambiguity and paradox. This album, a New York Times favorite, features notable selections from this expansive catalog.
