5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ives Orchestral Around..., October 16, 2007

This review is from: Ives: Three Places in New England; Symphony no. 3; The Unanswered Question; A Set of Pieces; Set no. 1 (Audio CD)

.

This is a reissue of 1994 disc A Set of Pieces: Music by Charles Ives , both of which are the best Ives orchestral sets around. The conductor-less Orpheus really has a handle on these challenging multi-metered pantonal pieces.

The Three Places in New England, and the Symphony No. 3 are especially fine.
