London Sinfonietta
"The make-up of the average theatre orchestra ... depended somewhat on what players and instruments happened to be around ... Its scores were subject to makeshifts and were often written with that in mind ... The pianist usually led - his head or any unemployed limb acting as a kind of ictusorgan!" - Ives. London Sinfonietta, conductor Oliver Knussen

The final concert of Radio 3's Ives festival, given yesterday at the Barbican, is a selection of songs, chosen by Thomas Hampson , which reveal more of the essential Ives that any other area of his output. Ives devoted much of his creative life to solo song, and in no genre did he achieve such diversity in style and approach, from simple, sentimental ballads to the most complex and dissonant philosophical discourses.
Thomas Hampson (baritone)
Dawn Upshaw (soprano) Craig Rutenberg (piano)
The theme of the first part of the programme is
Nature's Cycles, and the second part of the recital reflects The Human Cycle.
