Ives: Another Songbook

Ensemble Für Neue Musik Zürich;
Gottschick, Sebastian

Ezz-thetics1008

Anyone who takes the label founder's concept of the avant-garde seriously can hardly avoid the visionary potential of Charles Ives. At the end of the 19th century, the musical language of the American was extremely ahead of its time. The numerous miniatures from the Songbook become a forceful statement in the present day thanks to Sebastian Gottschick's bold new transcriptions. Jeannine Hirzel, soprano and Niklaus Kost, baritone and the uncompromising instrumentalists from Ensemble Neuer Musik prove to be reliable partners in these refreshingly riotous-sounding adventures. • (wismART)
