Now I have said before that composer Gavin Bryars was my tutor at Art school in Leicester alongside the noted Art Historian Fred Orton they organised a Duchamp study group which I was a member of and brought in Brian Eno and people like Peter Greenaway The Draughtsmam’s Contract film soundtrack composer Michael Nyman as external lecturers [yeah you never shut up about it - ED RUDE!]
But Gavin also introduced me to many artists and writers (Thoreau) and composers not least his own work ( I think I am close to having everything official) and Charles Ives was one such composer and I have loved his work and appreciated it ever since hence this on the 150th anniversary, there is a new recording of his sonatas
On the latest episode of ‘New Classical Tracks’ with host Julie Amacher, pianist Jeremy Denk collaborates with violinist Stefan Jackiw to highlight Charles Ives’ piano and violin sonatas in celebration of the composer’s 150th birth anniversary. Check out this clip from his interview and listen to the complete episode below!
