A lovely memory, on Charles Ives’ birthday: The program to a recital given last year at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium of all four Ives Violin Sonatas, played by Stefan Jackiw and Jeremy Denk. I don’t have a recording of the concert, but the performers toured with the program, and the Sonata No. 1 – the most “Romantic” of the four, and the one Ives published last – has been posted to YouTube, with Denk’s spoken introduction. It’s not quite the same as being there, of course, but I hope you will enjoy it even a fraction as much as I did. Thanks, Alex Rainer, for the photo!
