Dvorák'S Prophecy - Film 2 William Sharp, Pianists Steven Mayer And Paul Sanchez

The music at hand here includes Ives' Second Symphony (a milestone in culling the vernacular to set beside Huckleberry Finn). We also hear portions of Ives’s Concord Sonata performed by Steven Mayer and half a dozen Ives songs peerlessly sung (in live performance with Paul Sanchez) by William Sharp. The commentators include the Ives scholar Peter Burkholder and the conductor James Sinclair. (Naxos)
