[f_minor] NOT OT (mentions GG's dislike for Charles Ives): All Ives concert 8 March New Haven CT

[Peter Glenister]

Bob,

Gould makes brief mention of Ives (The art of Glenn Gould, page 283) and passing mention twice in The Glenn Gould reader which includes The Ives Fourth (pages 185-189) reprinted from Musical America (July 1965).

For those who, like me, just can't get enough Charles Ives, this lively and excellent Orchestra New England's maestro, James Sinclair, is an old high school pal, and has blossomed into the Big Cheese of the Charles Ives Society. Besides the Night of Charles Ives, old Yalies may be lured by the chance to wallow in and around Alma Mater / New Haven CT USA.

Or musically, you just may crave Different. Charles Ives is/was Different. This will be a Night of Different. You may never go back to Bach or Beethoven again.

Our Canadian Master didn't play or like Ives, and didn't mind who knew it. If anybody has citations for GG's feelings about Ives, I've always wanted to read the details.

It's a bit of a winter schlep down the Interstate, but I'm seriously going to try to get there. Maestro Sinclair always puts on a great show.
