Charles Ives: The 100th Anniversary



This lavish 5-LP box put together by Columbia in 1974 is the sort of luxury item that makes record collecting fun. Some of the performances here are well-known and easily available (the Bernstein/NY stuff, obviously, but I'm not sure if everything here has been reissued (and if so, certainly not in one convenient box)). The "Ives Plays Ives" and "Charles Ives Remembered" records are certainly fascinating and unusual items.

You can see the full list of contents here:

1959

The 1812/Bolero reissue is in Vol. 3 of the Living Stereo CD box sets.  However, in remastering the 1812 for the set the tapes with the cannon and bells could not be found; hence the CD reissue is without them.  If one wants the 1812 with cannon and bells the out of print L.P. is the only option.

Thanks yes. As soon as I was aware of this I had to dash out to buy the box set in a mad panic. Gould's performance of Symphony No. 21 is the best IMO. It was after all commissioned for the Chicago SO. It's a fabulous set, especially as they reproduce the colourfully exotic/psychedelic/oriental LP sleeve in a mini CD version:
