A very good performance though Hamelin remains the best I've heard, with a slight (minuscule) preference for the Hyperion performance. This continues to be one of the most rewarding 20th century piano works I've heard.



I have never heard this recording, despite being a big Ives fan, and see it's on YouTube (sound quality caveat noted). Hamelin is great, totally agree. Would like to hear this one, though, and imagine being in an audience in the 1940s, listening the piece for the first time.
"I set down a beautiful chord on paper—and suddenly it rusts."
—Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998)
