Charles Ives, Northern Sinfonia, James Sinclair - Symphony No 3 Washingtons Birthday Two Contemplations
Review by Mark Toner
Symphony No 3 Washingtons Birthday Two Contemplations by Charles Ives is a powerful and evocative album that showcases the composer's unique style and vision. The Northern Sinfonia, under the direction of James Sinclair, delivers a stunning performance that captures the depth and complexity of Ives' music.
The album features two contemplations, "The Camp Meeting" and "The Housatonic at Stockbridge," both of which are inspired by Ives' experiences in rural New England. The music is at times haunting and introspective, at others lively and celebratory. Throughout, the Northern Sinfonia demonstrates a deep understanding of Ives' musical language and delivers a performance that is both technically precise and emotionally resonant.

Charles Edward Ives was an American modernist composer.
He is widely regarded as one of the first American composers of international significance. Ives combined the American popular and church-music traditions of his youth with European art music and was among the first composers to engage in a systematic program of experimental music.
With musical techniques including polytonality, polyrhythm, tone clusters, aleatoric elements, and quarter tones he was foreshadowing virtually every major musical innovation of the 20th century. Ives's music was largely ignored during his lifetime as an active composer, but since then his reputation has greatly increased.
