Overview

Charles Ives’s pioneering orchestral voice comes to life in these mid‑20th‑century Vanguard Classics recordings of Symphonies No. 1 and No. 2. Under Harold Farberman’s baton, the New Philharmonia Orchestra delivers both the pastoral charm of the First Symphony and the bold contrasts of the Second. Captured in London’s Bishopsgate Institute in 1968 and remastered for CD in 1993, this 77 minute 55 second disc reveals Ives’s early mastery of American symphonic idioms.
