IVES, arr. BRANT: A CONCORD SYMPHONY; COPLAND: ORGAN SYMPHONY - Paul Jacobs, San Francisco Symphony, Tilson-Thomas (Hybrid SACD)

From the creative minds of two men, an orchestral masterpiece emerges. The Concord Sonata for Piano was vintage Ives…colorful, inventive, advanced, and ultimately highly regarded. Henry Brant took the sonata, with its themes of transcendentalism, and created the fully orchestrated Symphony. Aaron Copland's Organ Symphony announced the arrival of a new master. Here the San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas are joined by organist Paul Jacobs.
