  • Nice voice, although some of the vowel pronunciations seem a bit off the mark. What nationality is the singer?

  • @fremsley001 Veronica Lenz-Kuhn is a German soprano and she sings with a heavy German accent. But... Seeing that, for example, there was a Charles Ives Society in the Netherlands before there was one in the USA, I think that we can say that this "Deutsch" performance is actually a test of the univerality of the composer!=]

  • @damienbradley You're right, but I think Ives would have preferred that a thickly-accented German sing it rather than a true blue Yankee. He was always throwing in strange, uncanny quirks into the scores - so why not in the performance?

  • She can't sing American "r"s for crap. Listen to Jan DeGaetani's version, it's wonderful.

  • impossible accidentals in the vocals... don't think I would like to tackle the piano accompaniment if perf lab was this Friday... how are you?

  • Dear God ... that was painful.

  • your voice makes me want to scratch out my own eyeballs

  • Epog, thank you.

    My favorite Ives song.
