Charles Ives: "Three Places In New England" (1930 version for small orchestra) I. The "Saint-Gaudens" in Boston Common. The full score for large orchestra was completed by Ives in 1914 and lay untouched for decades. In 1929 Nicolas Slonimsky asked Ives for a work that his Boston Chamber Orchestra could play. Ives passed over other pieces that would be suited to Slonimsky's small group and instead reorchestrated "Three Places in New England". In the process or reassigning parts to fewer players, Ives created a new a quite difficult piano part. Slonimsky conducted the premiere on January 10, 1931 at Town Hall in New York with Ives in attendance.

  • well...

    can you please tell me what version is?

    conductor,orchestra and place...

  • @e1234563929 James Sinclair - Orchestra New England

  • An optimistically-asked question; sorry if the answer is stated elsewhere (can't see where, if it is). Would I be correct in thinking this is the 1990 James Sinclair, Orchestra New England recording? If not, who is performing it and what's the recording date? Nice video accompaniment, incidentally, and thanks for the post.

  • @malkieshort Yes, it is the James Sinclair version. I bought the CD when it first appeared, and compared to earlier recordings, it struck me as more delicate and transparent.
