Product Description

From Amazon.com

Ives never really intended his four holiday symphonic poems to be played together, and they are very seldom performed that way live. But it makes so much sense to group them on a recording that the Holidays Symphony has become the standard way to refer to the music. In any event, all four pieces offer some of Ives'ss finest, most imaginative work. The Fourth of July is the second most complex and crazy piece that he ever wrote--right up there with the second movement of the Fourth Symphony. Tilson Thomas is very much a specialist in this music, and he directs performances of almost supernatural accuracy. Simply the best. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars Ives: Holidays Symphony, 28 April 2009
By Mr. A. R. Boyes (Newcastle, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tilson Thomas is one of the foremost interpreters of Ives' orchestral work. THe Holidays Symphony is in truth four symhponic poems depicting his memories of holiday cebrations throughout the year. His combination of childhood memory with such an advanced muscial language still seems unique. Three of the four works start in cloudy gloom only to spark into life later on. I like all four though Thanksgiving and Decoration Day are particularly rewarding. The stocking fillers are very satisfying though I don't think we need two version of the Unanswered Question - please record the best one only! Overall though, this is a fine recording and adds to the growing selection of fine interpretations of Ives' pioneering work.
